MANAGERS REPORT Last season was my first season as manager of Woodhouse Colts and what a season it was going down to the final game and subsequently losing the league title on goal difference was a hard pill to swallow but that’s football. Once we had confirmation of promotion it made all the efforts and commitment from everyone involved at Woodhouse Colts worth while as this is something we’ve been aiming for since we were established 4 years ago. I am more than looking forward to the challenge of this season is going to be a tough season for everyone involved, every game we play this season we will have to be switched on and battle right until the final whistle. Along with the challenges we face ahead there’s going to be plenty of ups and downs but I know with the squad we’ve got we can battle and compete with teams in this league. We look forward to welcoming every team to Forest Town Arena this season, and hopefully we can get a few more faces down at the Arena to watch and support us as a team to help us grow.
