Welcome to the latest news for the youth section of Christchurch Football Club.

What a great start to the season, the Under 13's, Under 11's and Under 10's teams still remain unbeaten in all competitions, the Under 14's have progressed to the second round of the BYFL Cup and our Under 12's and Under 9's have performed really well against some strong opposition. After a difficult start due to lack of players the Under8's are least able to play with a full team and showing some good understanding in such a short time that really augurs well for the rest of the season.
We still require players between the ages of 6 and 9 years so please encourage friends or relatives to come along on a Saturday morning at Kings Park, Bournemouth (contact the Club secretary for more details, mobile number 07816 660493).

If you are reading this then I hope you are also reading the match reports being placed on the website, though we are still waiting for the Under 14's to catch up and post their first report, they are really exciting and give the flavour of the match for all visitors to our site. We have also placed some team photos on the site, so take a look and see the players in their new strips which show the Club's support for Julia's House.

I would like to thank Michael Johnson, players and parents of the Under 11's team for their unstinting support of the Fit Christchurch event held on the quay recently, where they manned the football target shooting area. The weather was kind, the enthusiasm was fantastic and fun was the name of the game, we handed out leaflets, sweets and collected donations for our charity throughout the day as well as meeting lots of budding players, pictures are on the website. THANK YOU.

We have two events looming for your diaries, on Friday October 23rd 2009, we shall be holding a fund-raising event in conjunction with Poole Stadium, for a night of dog racing and general fun, all for just £5 (including racecard and a free drink) and to make it even better children are FREE. The second event is a bit further away but we shall be holding a Club Christmas Party at the Bournemouth East Liberal Club on Friday December 18th at 19:30, so hold the date in your diaries more details to follow next month.

Please remember that your Parent Representative is Mike Holmes (Under 13's) if there are any concerns regarding the Club or its players, including team selection, subscriptions or general conduct matters, please contact Mike, he is there to help.

Let's continue what we have started and if there are any comments or queries to make please do not hesitate to contact me. We value your support, time and commitment, without it we cannot operate.

Many Thanks

Mark Duffy
