The Surrey County FA MLD U17 Representative team finished the 2007/08 season in an impressive 3rd place in the South-East regions Inter-County MLD league. Under the guidance of Rob Seale and Nick Drew a total of 20 young players aged between 14 and 16 have represented Surrey this season, putting in some exceptional performances in what continues to be an ever-improving side.
With a total of 4 wins and 2 defeats from their 6 league matches, Surrey finished just behind the 2 finalists, Berks & Bucks South and Kent, in the final table and will be looking to go one better next year and reach the final of the competition.
Everyone involved with the Surrey County FA would like to extend a huge thank you to all of the support that the team has received this season from the schools who the boys have been representing, as without this continued support the boys would not be able to get to these matches.
