Penalty woes, but great day!

 
Well, what a fine day!  Blessed with glorious sunshine and of course wonderful company, I have to say that the performances of the little'uns this morning and this afternoon were both refreshing and absolutely wonderful to witness; although not the same can be said for our showing in the English epidemic that is penalty deficiency'.  Never mind, the pain of falling the wrong side of a penalty shoot out will be short lived, whereas the memory of some of the team play and individual class will endure for much longer.
 

Holland Tour details confirmed

The details for the forthcoming international tournament in Holland are now available and have been sent to players.  If you have not received the details, then please notify staff on tik@bpsfa.com

The tour will take place at the end of May against largely Dutch and German opposition.  The four day trip will require the boys to not just play football, but to also undertake a number of domestic duties as they take charge of their chalets, and their diet!

Training

Training is now at Chilcompton at the following times
 
Year 3 and 4 - 1700 until 1830  Damian & Shane
Year 5 and 6 - 1800 until 1930  Gary, Tim and Ray
 

Sponsorship bonus

In its 10th season, Bath and West Wilts Schools' FA has flourished owing to the generosity of certain benefactors.  We are pleased to announce that once again, certain individuals have stepped forward to provide BPSFA with funds to move forward.

We would like to thank Kevin Okell from Altus finaicial Services and Chris Lyons from Systopia.  In addition, many thanks to Neil Peacock who has made a personal donation on behalf of his son Harrison.

Congratulations to a number of Bath Schools players who have recently been offered scholarships at their professional football clubs.  Zak Vyner, Max O Leary, and Josh Read have confirmed offers with more likely to follow from this talented age group soon.

Kyle played for Bath schools over a period of three years in which he was signed by his present club Chelsea.  Obviously from a talented family, his brother Kris who also played for BPSFA for three years, is currently on a scholarship at Stoke City FC and has played for the US.

We wish both boys the best of luck

Bath Minis play City U10s

Mixed fortunes downunder

A mixed years 5 & 6 squad made the journey down to Plymouth on Saturday to take on Plymouth Schools under 11.

With the heavens opening much of the journey, there were fears it would be a washout, but fortunately we were spared a soaking and arrived at the newly built Highview Primary School in good time.
