Read MoreI started Futsal training about 3 years ago, not long after joining UD. It was Daryl and Denerson who first suggested that Futsal training would help my football skills as being one of the smaller members of the football team it was apparent I was lacking some confidence to tackle and get properly involved with the ball in our football matches.
Read MoreWe caught up with Daryl this month and it's a brilliant insight to how UD all started.
From his Youth Football career, to breaking down barriers in Girls football.
It's a great read, so we hope you all enjoy.

He is now working through his UEFA B qualification.
Read MoreAs the season finally comes to a close, I can’t help but feel an immense sense of pride, satisfaction and delight for all of our United Dragons teams.
When looking back at this season, each and every team has represented UD with the perfect blend of competitiveness, sportsmanship, togetherness & friendship. These attributes I believe, set us apart from other clubs in the league.
With the UD 2022 Spring Term coming to an end, it’s always important that we reflect on the successes and achievements made across our training sessions this past month.
As coaches, our focus this month has been to improve our players’ tactical awareness and game understanding through mini games and matches. We are fully aware of our players’ desire to play more games in training and this has proved to be a great tool for their technical and tactical development.
