Great result today, the boys totally deserved the win, and finally we are getting rewards for the hard work they have put in. Great perfect hat-trick from Elton and a lovely clean sheet. 👏👏👏⚽️⚽️⚽️ @graysathletic_official @dsslgroup @coopsgroupuk @walkersports_

Match Day 😀. Today, we travel to Chelmsford City for a plate game. Will be a tough game. COYGA 🔵 ⚪️ @graysathletic_official @coopsgroupuk @dsslgroup @walkersports_

Great result today against a very good team. Goals from Elton (Again 4 in 2) Calum and Frankie. Hopefully the boys can keep up this form.⚽️⚽️⚽️🔵⚪️ COYGA @graysathletic_official @coopsgroupuk @dsslgroup @walkersports_

Match Day ⚽️⚽️ today, we are away in a league game against Chelmsford City under 17s. Will be a tough game, let's see if we can continue our run 🤞🔵⚪️ @graysathletic_official @dsslgroup @coopsgroupuk @walkersports_

A Disappointing first half from the boys today. Coming in 4-0 down. Credit to Chelmsford who were brilliant. But a much better second half which saw Elton add another 2 goals to his tally. 6 goals in 3 games is brilliant. Well done Elton 👏

Match Day, today we are away to May and Baker in Dagenham. It might be a funny one today due to 3 players 18th birthday parties last night 🥳🥴😂 @graysathletic_official @dsslgroup @coopsgroupuk @walkersports_

Great result today, especially after half the boys were still drunk 🥴. Another Hat trick for Elton, who is on fire. 2 goals for Frankie and one each for Bradley and Calum ⚽️⚽️ @graysathletic_official @coopsgroupuk @dsslgroup @walkersports_

Happy 18th Birthday to our captain Ben, who has been with the team since the age of 5. Amazing kid (Man now) and brilliant friend to all the boys. Enjoy your day. ⚪️🔵⚽️🥳🎂 @graysathletic_official @dsslgroup @benmorgan_18 @coopsgroupuk @walkersports_

Match Day ⚽️⚽️ today we travel to Buckhurst Hill for a cup game. Another tough test for the boys. @graysathletic_official @dsslgroup @coopsgroupuk @walkersports_

Our cup run ends in defeat. Lovely goal by Freddie put us 1-0 up, but Buckhurst pulled it back and made it 2-1 with 10 mins. Hit the post twice but it wasn't to be. Well done to Buckhurst Hill. 👏👏 Grays Athletic Football Club Coops Group Walker Sports

Today, we welcome Brentwood to Lakeside. It was an excellent 3-2 thriller at the start of the season, so hopefully, another cracker. Come along and enjoy the game with a drink in the sunshine🌞⚽️ @graysathletic_official @dsslgroup @coopsgroupuk @walkersports_

We were gutted to let a 3-1 lead slip today but credit to Brentwood for their persistence. Cracking game though, both teams played their parts. Onto next week 💪 @graysathletic_official @dsslgroup @coopsgroupuk @walkersports_

Match Day, today is our last ever away game as youths. It will be a tough one against a very good Billericay team. Up the Ath. @graysathletic_official @walkersports_ @dsslgroup @coopsgroupuk

Last Match of the Youth Era. Today, we welcome Billericay to Lakeside for our last match as a youth team. 12th season completed. @graysathletic_official Coops Group @dsslgroup Walker Sports

And that's it, youth football is now over. Not the result we wanted but it was a good day. Billericay deserved the result.

From under 6s to under 18s. The youth football journey may be over but best friends for life 😍

From where it started to where it finished. Great bunch of boys (Men) terrific memories.
