THE UNDER 14'S WERE FOUNDED IN 2001 AS LEIGH RMI U8'S AND PLAYED THEIR FIRST SEASON IN THE BOLTON AND BURY JFL 2ND DIVISION FINISHING IN 5TH POSITION. THE 2002/03 SEASON SAW A FEW CHANGES TO THE TEAM AND, AFTER GAINING PROMOTION AS RUNNERS UP, FINISHED OFF THE SEASON IN STYLE BY CLAIMING THE CHAIRMAN'S CUP AT THE REEBOK STADIUM BY BEATING THE MUCH FANCIED DIV 1 SIDE HORWICH ST MARY'S 1-0. PROMOTION AND A STEP UP A DIVISION PROVED NO PROBLEM TO THE TEAM AND THEY BLITZED THROUGH THE 1ST DIVISION TO BECOME CHAMPIONS. THE 2004/05 SEASON SAW THE TEAM START PLAYING 11-A-SIDE FOOTBALL, AND AS A RESULT OF THIS THE TEAM BEGAN PLAYING ON PENNINGTON FC'S PITCH. PLAYING FOOTBALL WELL BEYOND THEIR YEARS THE TEAM WON THE LEAGUE AND CHAIRMAN'S CUP AND WERE VERY UNLUCKY NOT TO REACH THE FINAL OF THE PRESTEGOUS MANCHESTER CUP, LOSING A VERY CLOSE SEMI FINAL AGAINST FLETCHER MOSS ON PENALTIES. WITH NOTHING MORE TO PROVE IN THE BOLTON AND BURY LEAGUE THE TEAM MOVED TO THE MUCH TOUGHER NORTH BURY LEAGUE AND BECAME PENNINGTON FC U12'S. THINGS STARTED BRIGHTLY AND THE TEAM LOOKED STRONG BUT THE SEASON WAS DISSRUPTED BY EVERTON SIGNING STAR MIDFIELD PLAYER BEN HENNEGHAN, AND BOLTON'S INTEREST AND EVENTUAL SIGNING OF WINGER LEWIS COLEMAN. ALTHOUGH THE TEAM WAS SEVERLEY WEAKENED BY THEIR LOSS THEY STILL MANAGED TO FINISH A VERY RESPECTABLE 2ND. THE 2006/07 SEASON SAW THE TEAM FINISH 3RD IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SEASON BEING A CONVINCING END OF SEASON WIN OVER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS AND PREVIOUSLY UNBEATEN BRIDGE COLTS 3-1. OF THE ORIGINAL TEAM RYAN WOODWARD, ANDREW ROBINSON, JAKE DARCY AND KYLE MCCULLOUGH STILL REMAIN. ALEX HOUGHTON AND TEAM CAPTAIN JAMES BROOKS WHO PLAYED FROM THE UNDER 9'S TEAM ARE STILL AT THE CLUB.
