'˜Unbelievable' interest in Hollington youth set-up

Hollington United's youth section is growing rapidly.

Hollington United manager Scott Price says there's been '˜unbelievable' interest in the football club's rapidly expanding youth section.

The Gibbons Field-based outfit will be running youth teams in a number of age groups next season as the club continues to go from strength to strength.

Price said: “It’s coming along a lot better than anticipated. To be honest I thought we’ll see how it goes, but we’ve had so much interest it’s unbelievable.

“It’s moving on, I don’t want to say too fast, but the club’s getting stronger and stronger every day.”

At the start of the 2017/18 season the club introduced under-16, under-18 and under-21 squads, and players from all three teams have represented Hollington’s two adult sides.

Hastings Town Youth will come under the umbrella of Hollington United next term, and the club will have teams in the under-7, under-8, under-9, under-13, under-16 and under-18 age groups, and possibly two sides in the younger age groups.

Hollington are hoping to develop the youth section further in time and hopefully field teams in all age groups.
