Bakewell Youth fold

Bakewell Youth have announced their intention to fold following Saturday's 'no-show' at Shirland Miners Welfare.
   Despite their efforts to join adult football after playing together as youngsters, Bakewell Youth have found it hard in a well-organised Matlock & District Football League.
   Secretary Jessica Stone explained: "I am having to fold the team as we do not have enough players turning up to play and not enough transport to get to away football matches."
   She added: "I am sorry for this, but thanks for the opportunity to let us play in your league."
   Bakewell Youth are in negotiations regarding their commitment and financial arrangements regarding their withdrawal.
   Chairman Drew Robertson commented: "It is always disappointing when teams fold. We gave them every encouragement, as we do as a strong league, but it perhaps was a step too far for these youngsters without the backing of more experienced footballing people."

   Tables and statistics will be updated shortly.
