FRANK'S REPORT 14 Mar, 2016

It was Formby Junior Sports Club’s busiest weekend of the season so far with thirty-four matches played. Nineteen of the club’s Representative teams were in action. This included a great effort by FJSC Under 7’s Blacks in the Craven Minor League Tournament and in addition FJSC Under 12’s and Under 13’s United won their quarter- final matches. In midweek all six FJSC girls’ teams in the Hightown League also gained victories in their cup semi-final matches. At Deansgate Lane two hundred children took part in fifteen Inter Club matches. This included thrilling League Cup ties in four divisions and the largest attendance of the season in the section for the Year One and Two Girls. REPRESENTATIVE TEAM MATCHES FJSC Under 7’s Black were runners-up in the Craven Minor League Tournament held at Edge Hill University. Fourteen teams entered the competition. After qualifying for the final stages the Blacks only lost one match and that was to the eventual winners. Finlay Richards, Liam Kirk, Harry Lofthouse and Thomas Dent all scored goals. Goalkeeper Micky Denison made some very good saves and defenders Dan Mortimer and Fraser Holloway were also in fine form. Koray Murray-Cakar and Aaron Rymill both made important contributions in a wonderful squad effort. Formby Junior Sports Club’s Under 12 Blacks have progressed to the semi–final stage of the Joseph Jackson Cup. Two goals from Jamie Murphy and one from Owain Griffiths-Johnson gave the Blacks an excellent 3 nil victory over Phoenix. Dylan Sudlow produced a commanding display in the FJSC defence.
