With pre-season completed the focus turns to Saturday's kick-off with Middlesbrough
8/6/2007

Our pre-season is over and we are currently in our final week of preparations for the Premier League kick-off on Saturday against Middlesbrough.


We had a very strong finish to our pre-season by beating Preston North End at their ground 3-0. These local Derbies are always difficult and we performed well and it has us in a good mood heading into Saturday.

We have also been drawn against a Finnish club, MYPA, in the UEFA Cup. The first leg of that game will be on Thursday of next week so it is all go very quickly for us.

To make things even more exciting we have all of our hires in place and will be waiting for our residency players to arrive on August 20th, 2007 at the Premier Soccer Academies. What more could a footballer want??!!
