Nantwich Town Football Club: Youth Team U18 North West Youth Alliance Football League
![]()
Result - Under 17 Sentinel Cup Semi Final - 23rd April 2008
Eccleshall 0 v Nantwich U17 2
Adam Dawson
Liam Prince
Last years winners of the under 16 Sentinel Shield have won through to play in the Final of the Sentinel Cup at the Britannia Stadium. They have been determined all season to win through to play in the Final after last years Shield Final was inexplicably moved away from the Britannia Stadium. All but two of the players will be eligible to play in this under 18 competition next season.
News - Nathan Southern out for about 6 months - 20th April 2008
Two weeks ago, just before his 17th Birthday, Nathan was admitted to Leighton Hospital with a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) in his left shoulder. A fall on this arm some 10 days earlier is the suspected cause. The Warfarin treatment will last at least until mid October. During this time he will be unable to compete in contact sports although he will still be able to train once the arm swelling has subsided.
This setback, which affects less than 1 in a 100,000 under 18s, means Nathan will be forced to miss at least three finals and a semi final not to mention the remaining league games with his under 17/18 team and possible first team appearances in the promotion play offs.
The club will continue to provide development opportunities to Nathan during his enforced layoff from contact sports and are currently talking to an athletics coach to use this six month as an opportunity for Nathan who is a natural athlete to develop even further which will benefit him and the club on his return. In the meantime we wish Nathan all the best.

An opening goal from Danny (The Rock) Edge and a brace from Chris Steele was sufficient for Nantwich Town Youth to lift the North West Youth Alliance Open Cup held at Chorley FC. A 3-1 victory over a strong Curzon Ashton team was hailed as a "great performance" by victorious manager Tony Ledwards. A double celebration was enjoyed by Chris Steele who was also awarded Man Of The Match.
