text: The feel-good factor at Everton continued to grow after many of the club's first-team players attended the annual 'Academy Day' at Finch Farm on Tuesday. A spring resurgence of five wins and a draw in their last six games has propelled Roberto Martinez's side into the top half of the Premier League,  and the likes of Leon Osman, Phil Jagielka, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku were all present to pass on advice to the next generation of talent. Players from the under-6 to under-11 age groups joined the Blues' senior stars for a training session  at the Halewood complex, with the fun-filled occasion including games of head tennis and shooting drills overseen by manager Martinez and his coaching staff.
