LAWFORD Junior Blues under-18s are reflecting on an incredible season.

They were crowned A League winners in the Colchester and District Youth League, with an impressive 19 wins from 20 games.

Overall, in all competitions, they had a fantastic season with 29 wins from 33 matches.

In addition, they were finalists in the Open Cup, losing 3-2 in a close game against Saffron Walden.

They also had a good cup run in the Essex County Cup, reaching the last 16 of a tournament that over 150 under-18s teams from across Essex enter.

Team spirit has been excellent and the boys have been prepared to work hard.

This season's success is all the more remarkable as the team were promoted from the C League to the A League.

Their coaches thought finishing in the top half would be a good achievement in their last season as a junior side.
