LOUGHBOROUGH STUDENTS FC V PINCHBECK UNITED FC

JAMIE CLAPHAM HEAD COACH

Good afternoon and welcome to today’s UCL Premier Division North game here at Loughborough University Stadium. I’m delighted to welcome Pinchbeck United management team, players, officials and supporters.

This is our final home game of the season and a time for reflection. Unfortunately I can’t write about looking forward to a trip to Wembley this year after losing on Saturday but what a season it has been.

We currently sit fourth in the league with six games left. We have become BUCS Champions for the first time in 9 years. We reached the semi final of the FA Vase for the first time in our History and we have had a crowd of over a thousand supporters in the stadium.

Unfortunately this will be the last time some of the students will play at the stadium in a loughborough shirt. We hope to see them graduate and flourish away from the university. They have been a credit to the shirt, themselves and to me as their Head Coach and I thank them.

We hope to finish as strongly as possible this season setting us up for a well deserved break and then back for the 2022/23 season. As always thank you for your support and enjoy the game!

Jamie Clapham Head Coach
