The Northern Echo is launching a new feature celebrating grassroots sports teams.
Team Name: Durham City Juniors U8 (Durham City Minions)
Location: Meadowfield, Durham
League/competition: Russell Foster League – U9 Newbottle (play a year up)
Manager/Coach’s name: Barrie Hindson
Members: Ashton, Dominic, Max, Denver, Toby, Noah, Leo, Kobe, Jacob
Team motto: Have fun and try.
The best thing about our team is: We all are great friends in and out of football and every year we arrange non-football activities such as camping and the pantomime for the boys to enjoy. Although the boys are playing a year up, so far this season they are unbeaten in the league which is a great achievement.
What inspires you: In 2018 the boys were nominated for a Local Heroes Award and were shortlisted into the top three, they didn’t win but continue to strive and hopefully be back again one year.
Most memorable recent moment: Playing in an U9 tournament in the summer a year up and not losing a single game all day to become the champions of the day and winning the trophy.
