This weekend the Ashwell Accies and the Royston Crow Youth Football League has chosen to take part in the National Silent Support Weekend where Leagues and Clubs across the country are asking all spectators and coaches to show their support through applause only when the match is in play. This gives players a better opportunity to find their own voice and develop their game.
