U9s v Town Green Panthers - 0-0
A big thanks to everyone for trekking out to Winnifred Lane at the last minute!
A hardworking performance against a very good TG team, and despite Joe Gallen being man of the match for some great double saves, I think we won on points and effort and were the most likely to score!
Well done everyone!
U14s v Town Green 3-3
Joe Gallagher
Oliver Roberts
Andy Halsall
A monumental effort from the U14s to salvage a point and pride, after going behind three times and finally drawing level at a snowy Edge Hill.
This top of the table clash was always going to be tough and didn't disappoint, especially when injuries before the kick off resulted in the game plan being scrapped.
Ollie's goal was the pick of the three, a great header from a quality cross by Ali Garrow.
If we can add a little more of that quality to the graft and determination we will get even better!
As with the U9s, everyone did themselves proud.
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.
