FRIDAY FOOTBALL:
Well done to all concerned. It is a great success. As mouth guards are now part of football “gear” children taking part in the coaching must wear them at all times. In a very progressive move the club is providing mouth guards to all children who need them to ensure that all children get the opportunity to play.
No coaching this Friday March 14th.
