BSMFC MANAGERS NOTES

Good afternoon. We’d like to start today’s programme notes by extending a warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Easington Sports who are the visitors to the Sett for today’s United Counties Premier Division South fixture.

As I am sure you are aware today’s fixture brings down the curtain on our 2022/23 season. It’s been a rollercoaster with plenty of bumps along the way however a win today would secure us a top-half finish (9th place) which when you consider the size of our club coupled with our limited finances in comparison to many opponents it would represent a fantastic achievement and one that myself, the staff and all the players should rightly be proud of!

That said victory today is not a given against a good Easington Sports side who themselves will be looking to finish their season on a high note, they sit a couple of places behind us in the table and whilst they can’t overtake us, they’re not on the beach yet as their mid-week win at Histon proved.

As always, we will focus on what we can control which is our performance. Get that right and hopefully the result will take care of itself.

Given that today is our last game it would be amiss of us not to thank everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes at the club or those that support us on a match day which includes our many sponsors. We really do appreciate your support. Without you our club would not be the club that it is today!

We also want to take the opportunity to recognise the efforts of our peers (other BSMFC Coaches) and their teams as despite the cabinet not being as full as it was last season there are many positives across the Club.

Whether that be a new look Reserve Team under the watchful eye of Rob Jones finishing in the top-three, the ‘B’ Team, also under new management, on track for a top-two finish, the Ladies Team who have performed well all season and have reached the NTFA Cup Final, NDYAL Cup Finals for our Under 12s and 16s, our newly formed Under 8s, and best of all the soon to be first ever Girls Team…………. there is so much to be proud of!

For some of you the season is not yet over, therefore we wish you all the best for what lies ahead, lets hope that when the season does end the cabinet is full again!

Following the conclusion of today’s game, it’ll be time to celebrate, re-charge the batteries ready to go again.

Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you back at the Sett very soon.
