THORNWELL U13s football club are on the up after the team put in their best performance yet against Garden City.

The three-all draw was a ray of light for the side whose season so far has been plagued by big defeats.

Since the Christmas break the team had a few players leave and the knock-on effect was a string of defeats.

Team bosses said: "The lads played really well this weekend and following their troubles early on it has been decided to name the team the Thornwell Misfits."

Anyone interested in joining this on-the-up team can go along to training on Wednesdays at 6pm at Chepstow Leisure Centre or on Saturday mornings at their ground from 10.30am.
