On Friday 29th March 2024, the majority of the U16's set off on four days of travel and football for the Holland Easter Tour. It was a fantastic Tour and more can be found on this Easter Tournament page.
Race Night
On Friday 17th November 2023, a whole host of supporters gathered along with the players who are going to the Holland Easter Tour to raise money with a Race Night. Thank you to all of the Fry Club JFC Teams who supported the evening as well as Keynsham Town U16's.

Remembrance Day 2022
On Sunday 13th November 2022, we observed the Remembrance Day silence as always. We will remember them.
Theory Training Again
On Friday 21st October 2022, we reassembled the players in the main bar at the pavilion and went through a different series of clips on a big screen showing various scenarios and training routines and discussed them in an attempt to teach the boys in a different way. There were also some fun football videos there and everyone seemed to enjoy the evening.
First Match Under Floodlights
On Friday 30th September, we played our first ever match under floodlights. This actually came about thanks to four of our players embarking on a career in refereeing, and the training day coinciding with the original match day. The opposition were gracious enough to agree to the evening switch (many thanks to Whitchurch Sports), and so under the lights we went. Unfortunately the weather wasn't so agreeable, however both teams fought a competitive fixture nonetheless, and then piled into the Pavilion for sausage and chips to warm up afterwards.
Theory Training
On Friday 21st January 2022, we tried out something completely different. We assembled the players in the main bar at the pavilion and went through a series of clips on a big screen showing various scenarios and training routines and discussed them in an attempt to teach the boys in a different way. There were also some fun football videos there and everyone seemed to enjoy the evening.
Remembrance Day 2021
On Sunday 14th November 2021, we observed the Remembrance Day silence as always. We will remember them.
As U11's we decided to change our Sponsorship model as we opted to support the Children's Hospice South West and collect money for them at Home matches.

Frys Pre-Season Tournament Runners-Up
On Saturday 15th August 2020, we took part in the Warmley Rangers pre-season tournament; possibly the only local tournament due to Covid-19. We played in an 11-a-side tournament, meeting Warmley from the division above in the final, taking them all the way to extra-time.
Frys Pre-Season Tournament Runners-Up
On Sunday 1st September 2019, we took part in the Fry Club JFC pre-season tournament. We played in a 9-a-side tournament, winning our group and meeting Imperial in the final, taking them all the way to penalties.
Ironman Challenge
On March 23rd 2019, three of our players decided to undertake an Ironman Challenge. For our U11 year, we decided that, rather than get a sponsor for our kit, that we would sponsor a charity. We decided to have the Children's Hospice South West logo printed on our shirts, and to collect for the charity at each of our Home matches. These three took this further and undertook an Ironman challenge of Swimming one mile, Running two miles and Cycling fifteen miles in an effort to raise £1000, with half of all monies raised going to the Hospice, and the other half going to our Club. Here is a Video of the event:
And for the photos, click Ironman. Here is the link to the JustGiving Crowdfunding page.
N.B. After all was tallied, we had raised just over the £1000 target, so huge congratulations to everyone involved.
Tesco Bag Packing
On March 2nd 2019, we undertook a morning of bag packing at Tesco in Keynsham to raise funds. For our U11 year, we decided that, rather than get a sponsor for our kit, that we would sponsor a charity. We decided to have the Children's Hospice South West logo printed on our shirts, and to collect for the charity at each of our Home matches. At this event we raised £422.60 in just two hours and we are grateful to Tesco in Keynsham for giving us the opportunity.
Odd Socks Day
In November 2018, we took part in the Anti-Bullying Alliance sponsored Odd Socks Day.
Grow A Mo For A Bro & Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha
Fry Club JFC and Keynsham Town U11’s came together before their match on the 4th November 2018 to Grow a Mo for Movember, raising awareness to help stop men dying too young. Helping make a difference for men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. They also held a minute's silence to honour the passing of Leicester City Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four colleagues who tragically died this week.
Brave The Shave 2018
Well done to one of our Brave U11's. He decided to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, via their Brave The Shave fundraiser. If you would like to donate money to this great charity then please text SHAVE 16742 to 70550.
2018 World Cup Sweepstake

U9 Cup Finalists
In October 2016 during our U9 season we made it to the final of one of the HML mini-cups. We played really well, but unfortunately were unable to get the win. To see photos of the match click on Cup Final.
Many thanks to our U7 to U10 Sponsor, Pomegranate Cafe & Restaurant
Our Kit & Sponsor made the local paper, the Keynsham Voice.
The team is open to U11 boys and girls. We practice Football training skills using a variety of activities designed to be fun, and we end with a short game. We train on a Friday evening 6:00pm - 7.00pm, light permitting at Somerdale Pavilion, and in the Winter at Wellsway School on their artificial surface. The only stipulation is that shin pads must be worn.
Manager's statement:
Our philosophy recognises that children do not perform as adults. Therefore Football's Laws, researched and piloted by The Football Association, meet the needs of the children. Mini-Soccer has all the features of ‘real’ football to children. We do not set unrealistic expectations. Many adults do not know what can be expected of children and so emphasise the result at the expense of performance. Mini-Soccer helps by defining the targets for children at different ages. We believe that Mini-Soccer sets a standard and a framework for behavior on and off the pitch, and as Managers we promote that standard. Mini-Soccer is for all youngsters regardless of their ability. It is intended for girls and boys, and young footballers with disabilities and learning difficulties, and we welcome everyone to Fry Club JFC. Andy, Gaz, Paul, Mark & Lee - September 2018.
