Match Preview: Leicester United U15s vs. Lutterworth Athletic U15s
This Sunday, Leicester United Under 15s kick off their league campaign under the new stewardship of Michael "Stevo" Stevenson. The team is set to face Lutterworth Athletic at JM Workforce Oakfield Park, with a 10:30 AM kickoff.
Stevenson, who is taking charge of his squad for the first time, has had the support of U15 Reds Manager Phil Edgington during pre-season. Now, with the season opener just around the corner, he's ready to lead his team into action.
This match will see a squad full of debutants, with several players transferring from the U15 Reds and many others new to the club. Stevenson is keen to secure 3 or 4 additional signings before Wednesday's cut-off, including a goalkeeper and two midfielders, to bolster his squad.
Debutants to Watch:
Harvey Bosworth, Josh Bunting, Ronnie Burdett, Joe Dakin, George Moorley. Also new signings Kade Butler, Alex Monk, Avier Bourne will be hoping to claim their spots in the starting 11 following their transfers to Stevenson squad.
Additionally, the team will be strengthened by U15 Reds transfers:
Frankie Flannigan, Rory Teague, Logan Moore, Kyle Carter, George Thorley, Zac Pilcher
Both Teague and Moore have previously played under Stevenson, bringing valuable experience and familiarity with his coaching style. They have been key players during pre-season, helping to instill the type of football Stevenson wants his team to play.
This match will be a crucial opportunity for Stevenson to assess his new squad and evaluate how well the new signings integrate into the team. A positive result on Sunday would be the perfect way to start the season.
Kickoff is at 10:30 AM at JM Workforce Services Oakfield Park, Hospital Lane, Blaby.
This season, the team is proudly sponsored by Gemini People.
Come out and support the U15s as they embark on this exciting new chapter!
