FRY CLUB JFC U9’s  Newsletter  -  January 2007    

 

 

 

Happy New Year to you all & Welcome back to the norm!

I hope you all spotted my “deliberate” mistake in the last E-mail, we are of course at home tomorrow and not away ;-)

 

With the season halfway through I believe we have made some great progress, 8 fantastic Wins (4 emphatically), 1 “Crazy” draw & 3 losses shows the tides have at least for the moment turned our way. We can now be sure that when we go out there come any Sunday we will always be in with a shout no matter whom we play.

 

A few stats for you; -

 

A team – wins 9, draws 1, losses 2. GF 49 – GA 12  Clean sheets 6

B team – wins 5, draws 1, losses 6. GF 41 – GA 30  Clean sheets 2

Both the A & B team have only lost both on the same day once! (2 narrow defeats to runaway leaders Brislington!)

The A team have kept 4 of their 6 cleans sheets in their last 4 games!

The B team have scored 24 of their 41 goals in their last 4 games (and didn’t score in 1 of them!)

  • The 90 goals so far this season is only 7 short of our record total of 97 scored last season
  • Last seasons 97 was over 25 games, we have played 12 so far this season!

If we score 17+ more goals before the end of the season then it would make our average goals scored per season 100+.

We are the leagues 2nd top goal scorers with 78

We have yet to win a penalty!

 

Keep it going team but DON’T get complacent!

 

TEAM CAPTAINS!

A team captain - Ashley, B team captain - Sarah

Vice captains are: - A team – Matthew, B team - George

 

WEEKLY SUBS & FUND RAISING

Pontoon will continue and will start with the games played over 13th & 14th January, Entry for each players guardian will be automatic as £1 of the subs collected will be used, extra entries available at £1 per team.

  2. If a team on 19 should have no game on the following weekend then that team shall not win by the default 2 goals rule, the very next LEAGUE game played and the goals scored will count in this instance, if there is no game played until the following weekend then the total goals scored will be entered as 0 (Zero) and so on.
  3. No player can win more than once during the same game.

PTO

 

 

VIDEO

Have you seen our video yet? Have you told Family? Have you visited the U7’s & U10 lounges?

Volunteers also required to record future games! I would especially like it if we could get 2 or 3 of us doing the same game, with footage from 3 cameras I could make one great Video / DVD J

Games on 28th Jan or 4th Feb would be perfect.

 

COMING SOON!

A full comprehensive DVD of Fry club JFC U9’s, Full player interviews, video clips, training overview to aid tactical awareness as well as the Frampton & Whitchurch games along with any future games J

 

VOLUNTEERS

If you have any ideas of your own for the website, fundraising, sponsorship then please come forward.

I would also just like to point out that it would be nice if more people could help out with putting up & taking down of the goal nets, it is usually the same people week in week out and the same also applies when it comes to refereeing. I personally find it a little unfair and will resolve the refereeing issue by appointing one with the expenses taken from the subs if it continues, after all we are all there to see our kids play football much the same as each other ;-)

 

KIT

Could you please check your kits for faults and report back, could you also all check that you have both a Home and Away kit as well as both kits being the same number, the away kit should also have the same numbered shorts, please report back any discrepancies. Also, if the the kit is getting too small then please let me know
