The Youth Football Club had three hot sunny Friday evenings during the first three weeks of June when we held our annual presentation evenings at the Cricket Club. Once again we were assisted with a fantastic BBQ team led by Mark East with great support from Dave Marchant, Mark Lock and James East .The Cricket Club management team were as ever really helpful in ensuring all the evenings went well and also ensured the very important bar was well staffed at all times!
This year there were eight teams involved,  ranging from the  under 15′s  to our newest team  -  the under 7′s. The expressions of delight on the faces of the youngest team members as they step up to receive their medals is always brilliant.
We really appreciate the support of all our various sponsors who help provide our kit. This usually this means the players get a new kit every couple of years. Recently a kit was replaced but was still in pretty good condition and through some church contacts in Kings Langley we were able to pass it on to a team in Gambia and it’s great to see Chipperfield make it on the map in Africa!
After three years as Chairman on the Youth Football Club I have  now ‘retired’ although I will still coach the under 15′s next year. On behalf of Ruth and myself I would like to express our thanks to the Committee who presented us with vouchers for an evening at The Grove. We used them on a lovely hot sunny evening and had a fabulous meal.
This does leave a vacancy for Chairman of the Youth Football Club and if the position appeals please contact me on the below number – we really do need someone to continue to take the Club forward.
