SEASON 2003/4

O’la Mick here.

Looking forward to a new season starting on SAT 6^th & SUN 7^thSeptember.

Everything is done on our side just waiting for the usual late crowd with their forms it looks like next week I will be working round the clock.

PHOTO’S.

All teams must exchange photo’s before the game, if you have a problem with the other teams manager ask the referee.

No photo’s no points and you cannot give teams permission to play without photos otherwise you could lose your points. We have worked hard to get the I.D. cards up and running so lets give them a chance.

Any team forgetting must go and get them, it will only be the same teams and not only will the ref report to us but we will keep an eye as well.

Season 2002/03

Another season coming to an end some ups, some downs, some highs and some lows. But first lets thank everyone involved with the running of the Bootle L&N Children’s footy league. The managers and coaches, hard work at times but without them no one would kick a ball. Behind the scenes fund raisers it costs lots of cash to run teams and a lot of times it is out of their own pockets. Kit washers again most times done out of their own pockets. Helpers mums and dads once again hard work at times but all vital to our main connection children’s football.

We are looking forward to our two presentations at Litherland Town Hall first on Saturday 10^th May at 1.00pm for the 7’s, 8’s, 9’s and 10’s. Second at same venue Saturday 31^st May at 1.00pm for the 11’s, 12’s, 13’s and 14’s.

A great season dominated by Crosby St, teams but with some new winners and also great clubs from the past. Our inter league under 14’s became Champions defeating Warrington 3 – 1 run by Jim McCormish (Warbreck), Billy Neilson and Sammy from Crosby St.

Our under 12’s run by Tosh Ryan, Ants Naylor and dad Tony beaten 1 –0 in the final against St Helens Good Luck to St Helens but we never played on the night.

Both sets of managers, helpers and players did our league proud and we hope next years under 12’s and 14’s will continue in their footsteps.

The League will continue to grow some teams leaving some coming in. You will have until the end of the may to place your deposits after that we will go to a waiting list and then if needed, advertise.

We also start off needing 10 new teams for out under 7’s on a Saturday morning at the N.A.C. It is the end of April some divisions still not sorted out and others still playing for runners up spots. A long but great season.

I have just had a great day where we held four finals, the crowds, the teams, the weather all perfect and marine over the moon not only with the much needed revenue but also the behaviour and standard of our teams and supporters. Marine right after our finals began pulling down the dressing rooms all to be re built for next season. We wish them well and look forward to another date next year.

A lot of things happening in the close season when we will work to improve our league. Referees, managers and coaches, which in the end must benefit the children. We will keep you posted on the web site with our monthly newsletters.

A great day at the N.A.C. for our Mini League Cup Finals under 7’s, 8’s, 9’s and 10’s.

None of the finalists disappointed as Dolphins took the under 7’s Cup, a great battle with Crosby St JFC.

Crosby St won the under 9’s against Kingsbridge completing a fantastic treble.

The under 10’s match went into extra time were Chesterfield came out the victors over Forefield Rangers.

The sad loss of Eric Shodeke will always be in the thoughts and minds of St Elizabeth as well as all his family and friends, so with the help of Denis we will set up a memorial cup. When we know more we will let you know.
