ATHERTON LR new first team supremo Gerry Luczka has wasted no time in getting to grips with the task in hand at Crilly Park. Just days into his new role at the club he has announced ambitious plans for a weekly Saturday morning Soccer Nursery. "We have a moral obligation to the local community to provide soccer facilities for the public," he says. "Through top class coaching schemes we can help young players develop their basic skill levels and talent.

"Our initial plan is to run two soccer schools for five to seven year olds for one hour and eight to 10 year olds for the second hour."
