Nelson U17s celebrate double joy

NELSON FC’s Under 17s White team are pictured having achieved the Tameside League and Cup double.

The side were champions ahead of their Blue team, who finished runners-up, while adding the Division A Cup.

Nelson Blue were also Division S Cup and Manchester Challenge cup winners.

The club’s Under 18s were also county cup finalists.

Mark Whitaker won Manager of the Year, while the club dominated the individual awards - league player of the year was Sam Crook, S Division Goldn Boot winner was Callum Smith, and in the A Division it was Jack MacDonald.

However, Nelson have since lost the services of Whitaker, who has left to join Ramsbottom United.

Whitaker said: “Despite having spent a very proud nine years at Nelson, the new club directors informed me that the youth teams would no longer be permitted to use the club facilities. This was a huge blow after the boys had performed so well and won so much for the club.”
