Don't forget the Presentation Event on Sunday

The Dads tournament took place in the park last Saturday (27th June). What a scorcher.

5 teams took part again, playing in a league format. There was a lack of goals again as the dad's seemed to be more suited to playing to the rugby league rules with the ball going over the wall more often than it went in the goals. The board shows the match scores with the 'Champions' team being the first ones to be knocked out after failing to win any games (probably because Craig and me were in that team).

The semi finals were also close affairs although still lacking in goals and the first semi resulted in the  Rovers beating the Stars 1 - 0 which meant we were going to have out usual 'Captain' playing in the final again.

Second semi saw Belly Boys beat OAP's 2 - 1

So the 'Captain' (Andy Steel) saw his Rovers team into the final against Belly Boys.

Again we had little in the way of goals but with the weather being so hot the dads were always going to struggle to keep going for the full 10 minutes of each game.

The final was won by Rovers who managed to squeeze the only goal past the Belly Boys keeper giving 'Mr Steel' his usual win.

The winning team received their trophy from Simon and there was a surprise in store for Andy as he was quickly 'carried' to the nearby pond and thrown in (don't miss the pictures in the gallery and video).

All players appreciated the performance of the referee who took charge of all 13 games in that heat.

Thanks must go again to Allan, Phil & Paul who had the barbeque going all day with the delicious bacon butties, burgers and hotdogs. Also Judith & Aimee were kept busy with the drinks and sweets etc.

Another great day.... see you again at next years.

 

 

I don't know if you noticed, but the old website had not been updated for a few months as we were unable to access it to make any changes.

We now have this new website up and running. The managers will shortly be updating their details on the team pages and will be able to put notes on for their own age groups.

The new website allows users to register and submit news item, match reports, photos. This will be monitored and submissions may be edited by the site admin where required.

It will take a little while to get things in the correct places so please be patient and let us know of anything you think needs changing or adding, or even removing. It's the club website so all club members can have an input as to what we might put on here.

If anyone needs details on how to submit things to the site see Chris (Under 13s) or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , we will be putting instructions on the site soon.

 

Sutton Juniors will be holding the AGM on Tuesday 7th July 2009. The venue is Eastburn Inn at 8pm.

The teams tok part in the parade around the village on Sunday. It was a fine day and lots turned out to line the streets to watch the parade.

 

On the field we had our penalty shoot out where lots of people had a go at knocking the balls of the cones and taking shots at our goalies.

There are a few more photos in the gallery, please feel free to add more if you are a registered member.

The presentation event is on Sunday 5th July at the Victoria Hall, Keighley. The doors will open at 17:00 and the presentation will commence at 17:30 for the Under 6 to Under 9 age groups. Other age groups will start approximately 19:00.

There will be trophies for all players along with special presentations to Most improved players, Players Player and Managers Player of the Year.
