Clubhouse open today from 5pm with DH and Leah-Ann

The more I get to know people, the more I realise why Noah only let animals on the boat

We wish a speedy recovery for McRobert Junior who has a broken arm sustained in training … even the old man didn’t go to those lengths to avoid training!

Even your old man never tried this one on to avoid training … only joking … get back into action soon x

All training is on as per the schedule … can everybody be on time please as the nights are drawing in! Don’t forget there is the Youth Meeting for all managers, coaches and admin starting immediately after training.

PLEASE collect from the clubhouse the following garments:
082 Owen Hadlum; 432 Tommy Jenkins; 464 Jonathan Mithrun; 445 Todd Jasper

Fantastic effort by the U16s at training last night … in the end, you will reap the rewards boys; keep the faith and welcome to key new signing Alfie Glendinning

Monday’s quote from film star Robin Williams: “I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone”.

U8 Colts

The U8s Colts played really well today against Grasshoppers with nice passing and solid goalkeeping. We created a lot of chances and the man of match goes to Steven for being on target and number of times and it was a great performance – onwards and upwards a little green likes a big thank you to my new assistants Joe and Dan is an amazing job today.

Under 11s continue stunning form

Birthday boy Charlie Bryant is our U11s Player of the Match today

Today we welcomed Headcorn to Waterside and another great performance from my team matched by a great show by Headcorn who are a new team to the league. Not allowed to give score or if we won or lost or goal scorers names so all I can say is ‘well done; boys, I’m happy with the performance’. PoTM today goes to Birthday Boy Charlie for some solid defending. Regards Rob.

BGFC supports the Alzheimer’s Society

Many of us have seen loved ones suffer from Alzheimer’s and it is heartbreaking knowing there is no cure … Jade Cowley is raising money for this worthy cause and Bromley Green FC is delighted to support her efforts.

You can help Jade Cowley raise money for this great cause by donating directly to their fundraising page – https://www.justgiving.com/Jade-Cowley2?utm_source=Sharethis&utm_medium=fundraisingpage&utm_content=Jade-Cowley2&utm_campaign=pfp-email&utm_term=RkkjaxzJQ.

JustGiving sends your donation straight to Alzheimer’s Society and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
Thank you for your support!

Looking forward to another exciting weekend …

Our best wishes go to Jake Edwards who is having a very rough time at the moment. As adults, we have to struggle with the strings and arrows of outrageous fortune; but when it is children, it is so heart wrenching.

U11s squad for Saturday’s visit of Headcorn
Preston, Alfie, Josh, Harrison, Charlie, Sam, Thomas, Matteo, Kieron B, Kieron J, William, Ben, Timmy

Every manager should by now have their first aid kit (speak to Lisa if not) and footballs for the season (speak to DH if not). Whilst appreciating the river is a damn nuisance, I cannot keep on replacing footballs that have gone in the drink so please try and retrieve them all on the day … thank you.

Advance notice: Youth Meeting next Wednesday 7.30pm immediately after training. Can ALL youth teams be represented please. If you are not represented, you will not have a say concerning your winter training arrangements. I don’t accept that there is not a single adult willing/able to represent each side. It is also important that Lisa, Pat and Grant outline some of the procedures and club policies that are currently not always being followed. Thank you DH
