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.
