News Summary


28 June - World Cup at the Clubhouse - all members are actively encouraged to come down to the Club on Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th July for the World Cup semi finals that are being screened at the clubhouse (8pm KOs).  The bar will of course be open and profits will go towards the cost of the new 42" plasma TV.  NO EXCUSES - WE EXPECT AS MANY MEMBERS AND FAMILY AS POSSIBLE TO COME ALONG.
21 June - U11s Tournament - our U11s were runners up at the Brockham Badgers World Cup tournament last Sunday.  Having reached the final by scoring 16 goals without reply, the boys froze in the final and lost 0-3 to Elm Grove.  Still a fine achievement.  Most pleasing was that of the 72 teams competing, it was our lads who won the Fair Play award, a reward for the attitude of the boys who conducted themselves in the manner expected of our youth teams - equally gracious in victory and defeat.  Well done boys.  [click here for presentation photo]
