London Saturday Youth League kicks off

The Broomwood Colts u11 and u12 teams have started their seasons, while the new u10s are still to play their first match. The u11s drew 3-3 against Bethwin, while our first ever u12s team beat Thelassy 3-0. Keep in touch with results and league tables using the links under the Blogroll list on the right.

Close season

Broomwood FC will start again on Saturday 1st September 2007, with formal registration commencing September 8th.

We will be organising games for boys and girls aged 4-12 and kids will normally play with others from their respective school year. There will be a subscription fee to cover the season from September to May and an announcement on the subscription amount will be made nearer the time. There is no advanced registration - you simply need to register on the 9th, or one of the following Saturdays. Registrations are taken only on the Wandsworth Common on match days, so please just come to the Common as shown on the map rather than trying to register beforehand. We normally have space for all interested, especially if you arrive before Christmas.

We always need, and encourage, parents to come forward to help run the club. The club is not commercial and all the organisers are parent volunteers. If you are interested in getting involved as a referee, a coach or just helping out in general, then please make yourself known at registration.

Broomwood Colts in cup finals

Tomorrow, Saturday 28th April, both the Broomwood Colts league teams will be playing in their respective age group cup finals. The matches take place in Norbury, the U10s playing at 10.30 and the U11s at 1pm. Results will be posted here.

You can also follow the teams in their league tables on the FA site. U11s here, U10s here. The season is just about over and the U11s have the opportunity to finish as runners up in the league for the second consecutive year. They will be playing one of their remaining league games on Wandsworth Common at 10am tomorrow (prior to going to their cup match) so why not come along early – all support welcome. – Jeremy

Tooting League

Each season Broomwood enter a number of teams to the London Saturday Youth League. This is an FA-affiliated league that plays on Saturday mornings at Tooting Common. This season we have had two Broomwood Colts teams, an under 11 (ie year 6, managed by Robert) and an under 10 side (year 5, managed by Peter). Each play against teams of their own age-group and look like finishing at or near the top of their respective divisions this season. Both have also reached their age’s cup final, to be played April 28.

Next season Robert’s team will be disbanding while Peter’s team moves up to be under 11s. Having spent several years helping Robert with his team I am planning to start a new under 1o team, made up from players in this year’s year 4 group at Wandsworth. The team will consist of 11/12 players and will play from next September.
