EASTERN JUNIOR ALLIANCE
We are delighted to confirm that for the 2024/25 season we will have a partnership with Cambridge United Football Club.
The partnership is largely in connection to our Youth section at Histon FC and with the aim of being available to support teams with coaching during training sessions as well as continuing professional development opportunities for our Youth Team Managers and coaches. Pre-season and mid-season fixture opportunities between the 2 sides will be arranged at dates that suit both parties as part of the partnership.
For the 2024/25 season our teams will again be operating in the Eastern Junior Alliance.
