Director of youth football Tony Johnson and youth section leader Gary Elson have big plans for Witham Town Football Club for the forthcoming 2000/2001 season.

They include introducing an under 16's team to strengthen the club, to build relations with professional clubs and their scouts, and to be more involved in the local community.

Johnson (who also works for West Ham United as a community and performance squad coach) is responsible for the good quality coaching and making sure that every player gets the opportunity to play at as high a level as they are capable.

Anybody who may be interested in joining the club at Under 16 or Under 18 level or are interested in working with the club in the local community is invited to contact Tony on 07957 550175 or 01708 401743.

The Under 16's will be meeting for the first time on Saturday at Witham Town's Spa Road ground at 10.30am.

Anybody who may not be able to attend on that day, but is interested in taking part during the coming months, telephone Tony Johnson on either of the above numbers.
