The U9s took on Ainsdale away and finished somewhat comfortable winners 5-2.
Goals from Patrick Staunton, Steven Dolan, Robert Ramsden, Ben McKittrick and Ben Gallagher, who, after a fine run, was up- ended in the box, composed himself to safely dispatch the penalty.
Another very good team performance from all and much stronger in the face of some wayward tackling! Well done boys!
No training Wednesday, Sunday v Sport T Blue, KO to be arranged.
The U14s took on one of the Big Four in Town Green and for most of the game were the better team.
Winning 2-1 with five minutes to go the points were all but in the bag when disaster struck and TG scored twice.
First defeat of the season will not dint our title aspirations as long as we learn from our collective errors.
Despite the defeat it was an excellent performance all round, and if the TG goal had not been so charmed it could have been at least 4-1!
Let's bounce back with a win against Indanet at Smithy on Sunday and show our rivals the lead!
A final mention for Andy Halsall who bagged two goals and was a beast in centre mid!
Training Friday, 7.00 prompt.
History
Formby Junior Sports Club was founded in January 1959 when Jim Rourke took his son Frank for a game of football at
A number of boys asked to join in, they enjoyed it so much that they told their friends about it, in no time there were enough boys for 4 football teams!
This was unique, all the teams belonged to Formby Junior Sports Club, it was the beginning of the famous “Inter-Club”
The idea of properly organised football matches with friends in their team, playing against friends in the opposing teams, appealed to the young enthusiasts.
It was “something different”, and what’s more “everybody got a game”!
It was also a very friendly atmosphere. It may not have been realised at that the time by those young players that membership of the “inter Club” football fostered their social growth. For quite a few it was the beginning of forming lifelong friendships.
The 22 “Inter- Club” teams continue to thrive alongside the 20 Representative Teams selected from inter-club players and who play mainly in the Craven Minor League, ranging from U7s - U16s.
All this from a game of “footy” on the park 51 years ago.
