BLACKPOOL NORTH MAGAZINE

NOVEMBER 2011 Editors Letter Welcome to our NOVEMBER edition of LINK-Magazine.

Hope you had a great Halloween and attended an organised display on Bonfire Night especially if you supported your local event. November now brings us just over a month away from Christmas already how time passes.

LINK-Magazine is continuing to grow in FY23 and its nice to speak to more local businesses recently, as in other areas of FY we are the leading FREE community magazine and as more local connections are made the better and more useful we become, so if you have something to add we want to hear.

We are committed to offering you a great local free magazine with a good balance of content and advertising. For any local business that wants to advertise we will beat any like for like quote, we are already cost effective and nobody can do it better for cheaper.

We are working on our December and January editions now so don’t forget to send us your details for Christmas and New Year events, to let people know what going on in advance. LINK will get the message out where other media can’t.

Congratulations LINK-Spotter Sandra Clark who won our ‘Where am I?’ Competition. £50 is on its way to you.

GET IT COVERED, GET IN LINK! Many Thanks

Our Youth team continue to show what an impressive side they are, winning their 2 LEP Sunday Premier Division games by an aggregate of 15 goals to 2, and winning through to the Semi-Final of the Syndicate Cup with another 8-1 victory, with hot-shot striker leading the way in all 3 of those games, with a hat-trick in each, an incredible individual scoring feat. Unfortunately, in the middle of those games, our boys exited the LFA Youth Cup with a 2-3 Quarter Final defeat.

At the time of writing we are looking forward to our Children’s Halloween Party on Sunday 30th October, from 3pm til 5pm at the BJFF Club House, and we are In the Blackpool & District Youth League, we go from planning for our Children’s Xmas Party (Under 9’s), Children’s Xmas Disco (Over 9’s) and Adults Xmas Party youngest to oldest, with our Under 11’s Blades starting the summary, but unfortunately despite some close – all dates and venues to be announced. games, they ended up on the losing side in all three to leave our boys needing a change in fortunes to climb BJFF - Football for ALL SKILLS Academy Initiative – the table. Our Under 11’s Predators, our newest team, Re-Branding... continue to enjoy good numbers, with some prospective Our Football for ALL initiative will be re-branded new players joining in with training during the month, but “Football for ALL Skills Academy” and welcomes it is not until after Christmas that we would expect to see children who are new to football, or who would just like the hard work and effort come to fruition with our first some extra training, with the emphasis on a fun and points. Congratulations though to all the boys who are friendly environment. Headed up by Level 2 coaches, working hard to come together in a new squad playing a Joe Rooney and Adam Monk, we have two age-group sessions on a Sunday morning. We welcome Boys and new format of football – a 11-A-Side friendly against our Under 10’s Blades proving positive for both squads.

BJFF – On the Playing Field – October Review…

The 2011/2012 season is now taking shape, with all of our Competitive Squads taking part in League and Cup action. At the younger end of the spectrum, our Development Squad (ages 3 and 4) and Under 6’s continue to train once a week, on a Saturday morning, whilst our 4 x Under 7’s teams, and 4 x Under 8’s teams are enjoying their first taste of organised football, in a non-competitive environment, as part of the Poulton & District Primary League friendly fixture programme. We are unable to publish results of these matches, but our boys and girls are doing very well – keep it up.

In the Under 9’s, our Blades are currently 2nd in the A Division, with a 100% record throughout the month – 8 wins out of 8, scoring an unbelievable 71 goals and conceding only 3. Our Predators and Vipers continue to do well in the B Division, with the eagerly anticipated games between the two teams finishing in 2 draws (2-2 and 3-3). The Predators enjoyed a further 3 wins during the month to lie 3rd, whilst our Vipers lie mid-table.

At Under 10’s, our Blades had a mixed month, winning 3 and drawing 1 from 8 games, with performances improving and moving up the table, with a first 11-A-Side game proving an interesting change from the 7-A-Side mini-soccer format, whilst our Predators started and finished the month well, with 2 wins and a draw, and currently lie mid-table.

In the Sunday action, our Under 14’s Girls have undergone a change of management during the month, and are adapting well to the new coaching style and

28 28

management set-up – thanks to all who have stepped in.

At Under 14’s, our boys top the table with a magnificent 7 out of 7 wins to start the season, and outstanding start.

During the month, 3 leagues wins out of 3, with 22 goals for and only 3 against, continued our excellent start. If form continues, then we could be looking at our first silver-wear of the season and a promotion to the Domino division. The boys can concentrate on the league now, with a 3-4 defeat in the LFA Youth Cup to a strong Academy team. Keep up the good work everyone.

At Under 15’s, our Whites had an outstanding month with 3 clean sheets out of 3, and with 15 goals scored a climb up the table to be on the shoulders of the 3 unbeaten teams. Our Blues, in the same division now, had 2 games postponed and with the 2 others ending in defeat are in need of a better November and their first points.

Finally, our Under 16’s lie in 3rd place despite a month with only win (against 2 defeats) and a LFA Youth Cup exit.
