[Bottesford Town FC @BottesfordTown]

A huge milestone for the club — ten players from our Bottesford Town Player Pathway have made first team appearances this season.

This achievement is a testament to the hours of hard work, dedication, and coaching that go into our pathway system, and it highlights the club’s long-term commitment to developing young players and giving them real opportunities at senior level.

👏 Congratulations to our pathway graduates:
• Archie Davidson
• Oakley Hill
• Blake Gregory
• Jaxon Borland
• Marshall McDermid-Backhouse
• Luca Simpson
• Rian Jacklin
• Kobi Burke
• Jack Burke
• Jayden Herrick

These young men have stepped into the first team environment with maturity, confidence, and quality — and everyone at the club is immensely proud of their progress.

The Poachers’ pathway is thriving, and the future looks very bright 🔵💛

👏Rob Watson’s and our new reserve team got their pre season underway last night at Lincs Premier Division side Immingham Town. A good work out for both teams with the Poachers reserves winning the game 2-1

So proud of Archie and Gainsborough Trinity U16 team. JPL national winners beating York academy in the final on penalties Archie saving 2, plus player of the tournament for Archie also

Alfie GTFC U13 goalkeeper

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

Looking for recommendations for decent goalkeeper gloves. Big fan of 100 glove and one glove but getting so pricey. Is there a brand which offers 4mm latex but at a reasonable price? Any suggestions would be appreciated

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

Wasn’t to be yesterday for Alfie and the Scunthorpe school boys U13s in the plate final against a strong Huddersfield side. Some great goalkeeping to keep the score respectable. Personally I don’t know a better U12 goalie playing a year up, but I guess I’m biased

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

@matjhorsman Well deserved ⚽️⚽️

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

Alfie. Grimsby town academy U12s goalkeeper.

[Lawrence Heward @LawrenceHeward]

U15 game now required this Wednesday 6:30pm kick off. Happy to play U16’s side.

Thanks in advance.

@Ed_P0d @DunstableTownFC Well done dylan. Excellent season.

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

@Ed_P0d @LutonTown Superb. Absolutely superb

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

@LutonTown Our ball retention needs to be so much better.

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

That’s my boy 💪🏻💪🏻

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

Well done to Archie and his Bottesford U14s team for winning the Selby league cup 2-1. A superb game and a superb performance from their no1. Me and your mum are so proud. #btfc #TC1uk

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

@SUFCOfficial A ‘JPL’ side then. Not an official academy. Let’s be clear, the better players will leave, the others will pay monthly and have no contract. Nothing new, several clubs have followed the same path who have dropped into non league.

[Lawrence Heward @LawrenceHeward]

Please get in touch if interested.

Thank you.

@AcademyDad1 Most parents are oblivious to the attributes of a good goalie. They don’t see the concentration when not busy, the sweeping, the communication, the fast footwork and catch rather than the fancy ‘camera’ save, plus the extra nights they train when the rest of the team are at home

[Darren Davidson @dothebertman]

@virginmedia your broadband is truly shocking. 393kps and I pay for 500mbps. Rip off.

[Lawrence Heward @LawrenceHeward]

Due to a late cancellation we are looking for an U11 or U12’s side for a 9v9 fixture tomorrow evening (5:30pm kick off).

If interested please DM.

Thank you
