Bispham Junior Football Federation BJFF in the Awards Recognised for our Outstanding Contribution to the Community at the Radio Wave Heroes in the Community Awards Ceremony....
A delegation from BJFF were invited to the prestigious Radio Wave Heroes in the Community Awards Ceremony, at the Hilton Hotel, on Thursday 25th November, for a night of entertainment and to recognise the unsung local heroes in our Community (Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde) across a number of categories. We had received the invite to attend the event due to a nomination from a parent being considered worthy enough by a panel of judges to be shortlisted into the final three in the category "Outstanding Contribution to the Community". After being entertained by a number of acts and a threecourse dinner, the awards ceremony commenced, with Radio Wave presenters Ged Mills and Hayley Kay compering the evening. With some incredibly heartfelt stories and thoroughly deserving winners in categories such as Bravest Youngster, Young Achiever of the Year, Child of Courage, it was an incredibly humbling experience. As our category was announced, we waited with anticipation and were delighted when we were announced as WINNERS in one of the strongest categories........ as we were treated to a montage of pictures of our children, coaches, our upgraded facilities, and the events we have held in the community, with a voice-over highlighting the achievements of our army of volunteers, there was plenty of tears in our eyes, and a great sense of pride and fulfilment........... BJFF Poulton & District League - Update....In the Poulton Primary League, despite playing some excellent football during the month of November, the luck was not with us and the results were not going our way. Our Under 9's Blades lie 6th in the table having lost ground during the month on all their rivals, losing narrowly when the better side in most games. Our Under 9's Predators battled gamely with strong performances in three games during the month showing signs of improvement. Our Under 10's shared the points in both games played this month, and lie third within touching distance of the runners-up spot moving into December. BJFF Blackpool & District Youth League - Update....The highlight of the month in the Blackpool and District Youth League was undoubtedly our newest team pulling off their first victory of the season, with our Under 11's Predators too strong for FC Rangers, and coming away with 3 points from a 3-0 victory. Our Under 11's Blades won both of their games convincingly to move up to 5th in the Domino division. In the Under 12's, a strong start to the month saw our boys score 24 goals without reply in the first 2 games, but 2 defeats to end the month stunted their progress, and they lie 5th after 8 games.
for money, with four high-scoring games accruing one victory and three narrow defeats to slip to 4th place. In the Under 14's, our Whites squad are joint third with 2 wins out of 3 games played in the month, and representative team recognition has come their way with Elliott Hargreaves and Simon Timothy selected for the league rep team - well done boys. Our Under 14's Blues squad are mid-table with one win and two defeats to their name during the month. In the Under 15's, three narrow defeats during the month leave our boys 6th. BJFF North Valley GIRLS Football League - Update.... Our Under 13's Girls had an excellent month with an 8-5, a 2-2 draw and a defeat to show for their efforts. With a couple of new girls signing up this month, our squad grows from strength to strength, but are still in need of a couple more girls in school years 7 / 8. BJFF Lancashire Evening Post Sunday Youth Football League - Update.... Our Youth team have enjoyed a draw, a narrow defeat, and in a brave attempt took last year's Lancashire Cup Winners, Burscough, all the way in an enthralling contest at the Gala Field, before eventually falling 1-3, with the defeat sealed by a last minute goal. Football For ALL Initiative....Our Football For ALL initiative welcomes children who are new to football, or who would just like some extra training, with the emphasis on a fun and friendly environment. Headed up by Level 2 coaches, Andi Whitworth and Joe Rooney, we welcome Boys and Girls aged between 4 and 11, each and every Sunday, from 10:30am - Midday. Trainers, Football Boots, Shin Pads and a Drink recommended. The BJFF Club House is on the corner of Kelvin Road and Carr Road. Training will continue throughout the Winter months and all newcomers will be given a warm welcome. If you are interested in coming along, with your son or daughter, you can simply turn up at the Club House on Sunday morning, or pre-book with our Chairman, Andy Griffiths on 07884 476954 (or e-mail agriffit@csc.com). The first session is FREE, and then ÂŁ3 thereafter. Fund-Raising and Social Events..... The Fund-Raising and Social Team, in conjunction with the Red Lion, hosted our Annual Adults Christmas Party on Saturday 27th November. With entertainment from The Twentysomethings Party Band, Radio Wave's Hayley Kay, and plenty of fun and games, the night was a roaring success. Thanks to Mark Whitter and his staff at the Red Lion, for his support once more. Our Childrens Christmas Party, on Sunday 12th December is a complete SELL OUT........... Summary.....Our website is regularly updated with up-to-date information and contact details - see >> http:// www.clubwebsite.co.uk/bjff .
