THE successful Shakers Under-19 championship winning squad will be presented with their medals and trophy before Saturday's match with Macclesfield and Barrow has nothing but praise for the youngsters.

"I'm delighted for them. They have made steady progress throughout the season and since Christmas haven't looked back, the same goes for the reserves," he said.

"There are a crop of very promising players coming up behind the lads who are just reaching the first team now, and the youth side of the club is very healthy indeed."
