Yeltz U9’s Reach National JPL Finals

On the weekend of 17-18th January 2026, our U9’s travelled to St George’s Park to compete in the JPL National Finals, marking a fantastic milestone for the group after a demanding and highly competitive campaign.

The journey to the National stage began with an excellent performance at the Bilston Central venue, where the boys won their cup game. They then progressed to the Wolverhampton Central venue to face the winner’s of the opposing group, emerging Victorious to be crowned the Birmingham Champions

The next challenge saw the team travel to Bristol to compete against both the champions of Bristol and Devon. The boys delivered two more outstanding performances, earning themselves the incredible opportunity to play at the home of English football.

At St. George’s Park, the players enjoyed a truly professional experience, including a photo shoot prior to competing in three high quality fixtures against some top quality opposition. It was an unforgettable occasion and a reward for the hard work dedication and talent shown by the players throughout the season. An outstanding achievement for this young and talented group onwards and upwards in their respective football journeys.
