Forestdale FC U7s and U8s Take On AFC Wimbledon Pre-Academy

On 25 April, our U7s and U8s headed out to face AFC Wimbledon Pre-Academy in what turned out to be a really enjoyable afternoon of football.

AFC Wimbledon have built their club on community values from the ground up — so there's always something fitting about Forestdale FC facing them. Two clubs that care about doing things the right way.

Both groups were excellent. At this age it's all about enjoyment, effort and getting comfortable on the ball in different environments — and they delivered on all three. They went into the game with confidence and came off the pitch with big smiles.

This is what Forestdale FC is here for. We're a youth football club in the Croydon and Bromley area, and giving our players the chance to test themselves against professional academy sides is a big part of what we offer. It builds character as much as it builds footballers.

Proud of both groups. Thanks to AFC Wimbledon Pre-Academy for a good game.
