Lincolnshire Schools and Youth Tournament 03/02/08
Just a quick note to let those of you who hadn't already heard that our
under 13 lads won the Lincolnshire Schools and Youth tournament at Lincoln
on Sunday and will now go on to represent Lincolnshire in the East round for
the first time since 1992 - when Matthew Pilgrim and Michael Morris were in
short trousers. For the record the results were
Spalding 3 Lincoln 1
Spalding 1 Leadenham 0
Spalding 5 Boston 0
Spalding 4 Stamford A 3
Spalding 1 Stamford B 1
Goalscoreres Liam Forsyth 4, Will O;Donovan 4, Ross Gavaghan 3, Lewis Ratcliffe 2 and Ryan Mountney. Daniel Barkworth (GK) Cameron Green, Connor Allen and Alex Barkhouse were the other team members.
The under 11s played four games and came third in their tournament finding Lincoln and Stamford a little too big and strong for our liking.
Junior mini tournament postponed
In order to make final preparations for Sunday we have have postponed the scheduled mini tournament with bourne at Market Deeping which will hopefully take place about Easter time. Date to be confirmed.
Under 11 tournament scheduled for Sunday 27th January has been put back a week
Due to a poor response from clubs in the County, the under 11 tournament scheduled for Sunday 27th January has been put back a week and will now take place alongside the under 13 tournament on Sunday 3rd February at the North Kesteven Sport Centre, Lincoln.
The fixtures are as follows with games being 10 minutes each way on half a pitch.

1.05 v Boston pitch 1
1.55 v Stamford 2 pitch 2
2.20 v Stamford 1 pitch 2
Please wear Club shirts and socks, white shorts and suitable trainers. Shinpads are compulsory, gumshields recommended but optional.
The presentation to winners and runners-up will be at 3.35 pm.
Due to the later start time, we will now all be meeting in the car park of the White Horse Inn at 9.30 am. Please let your manager know if you are going direct.
Awards for All Grant received
The club have been successful in their latest application for an Awards for All grant. Receiving just over £4,500 which will be used for an Ethnic ‘come and try it’ scheme, in an attempt to increase the levels of participation in the sport in this area. The second focus will be on the junior section, with more tournaments in the pipeline.
Junior coaching
As the junior section of the club is expanding so rapidly, more coaches and helpers are required. All team captains have received a timetable of when a player from each team is required to help out on a Saturday morning. If each player in a team takes their turn, they will only have to attend one Saturday morning per season, which is nto too much to ask compared to the coaches who are giving up a considerable amount of time to help the club. So when your captain asks for volunteers, please speak up!
