Results of the October 2006 Panel Meeting

March Town JFC

The group have received £719.93 to enable two new teams to join the club this year. The new teams consist of boys aged 10 – 13 years old from the community that have been playing together and have formed a team supported by a volunteer manager. It is a progressive step for them to then join a club to enable them to compete in league and club matches. Each team has a group of volunteers that manage, coach and regularly help their relevant team and the club as a whole. Funding will enable the new teams to receive support, training, match balls and a football kit for the matches.
