SPORTING FC NEWSLETTER
april 2013
A Word from our Chairman
Hi All,
Welcome to the clubs first and
hopefully not the last newsletter. I
am very excited about the next
few months up and coming events
especially with the fact that the
few games most teams have left
will determine their positions for
next season, some will get
promotion some will come
runners up and of course some
have just played for fun (the
younger teams – as noncompetitive). This part of the
season is also busy times behind
the scenes for all that are
involved within the club on and
off the field. Sonya is doing a
great job with the tuck shop
bringing in what people want ,
Kevin has done some great work
behind the scenes re games being
rescheduled, these are just two
people who go unnoticed within
the club but play a vital part for
all of us concerned.
Hope you enjoy your first taste of
what is to come of yours in
Sporting FC.

PROMOTION FOR U12’S
WELL DONE to our U12’s
team for their promotion.
we don’t mean just the
manager, coach and the
players we have tried to get the
parents involved and they can
be very proud of their sons and
what they have done this
season. Roll on next season for
more success. Sporting FC
leading example since 1994..”
Manager Kevin Samson said
“Well what can I say about the
U12’s firstly I am so proud
that all their hard work paid
off. We started the season
with a positive frame of mind
it was mainly a new team and
we picked up a couple of
players from Saltley who have
proved to be a real asset to the
team. Anyway to cut a long
story short we gained
promotion with 4 games left
and so far the only team to
beat the league winners
Football Futures. We have
played really well all season
but none of it would have been
possible without Dan, the
players and the parents”.
Captain of U12’s Liam
Maguire said “I am happy that
we got promotion as captain of
the team and that I am more
than happy that I got it with
my team mates and some of
them I can call my friends….”
A few words from:
Assistant Manager and
Coach Daniel Maguire “As a
coach all you can ask of your
players is to try your best and
work hard…we got that 10
fold and with the hard work we
got our promotion….as a team
WELL DONE U12’S

Sponsors
Respect Barrier
We need companies to sponsor
our kits – if you know of anyone
that could sponsor a kit/kits
please let your manager know.
Each year we contact hundreds of
companies and every year it is
getting harder to get sponsorship
as there is no money around. As
we are a not for profit club we
need sponsorship to be able to
provide new kits for our teams,
who do an amazing job in
representing Sporting. So if you
know of anyone that could
sponsor a teams kit or some new
equipment please email
[email protected].
The FA requires all youth football
clubs to have a Respect Barrier at
matches. This prevents spectators
interfering with the game,
players, coaches or match
Officials.
Did you know that if you pass the
respect barrier during the match
you could get a very large fine .
