After having to fold the reserve team a couple of seasons ago, The Shiners are proud to announce we can welcome back reserve team football back to Lees Lane for the new season.

Managed by local resident Joe Smith, the reserves are a young team full of energy and the club are delighted to be able to offer the opportunity for local players to play for their local team at a high standard of football.

Joining Joe Smith with be another local resident in Matt “Paddy” Hill. Paddy has worked with newer members of the clubs committee for over 6 years now and brings a wealth of experience at this standard of football.

The reserves are yet to find out which division they will be playing in but will be joining the 1st Team in the Central Midlands Football League setup.

With the majority of the team being made up of lads from the local area, the reserves are delighted to see the talent development of the clubs future stars under Smiths stewardship.
