Dear Ross Juniors Supporter,

Training has resumed at the Sports Centre and most groups have been lucky to have the sun shining during their session. For training arrangements during the Easter holidays speak to your manager.

We are delighted to have invested some of the club funds in improving the car parking facilities at the Sports Centre. It had become very dangerous and we have had several near misses. Hopefully the clearly marked bays and signage will help all park better. Please don’t forget - when bays are full use the car park by the main entrance instead.

With the Fun Day approaching quickly, we are looking for volunteers to help on the day with various tasks like car parking, selling raffle tickets or running the BBQ. Many hands make light work so if you can spare an hour on 27th May please get in touch.

We would like to congratulate our U15 boys who won their league last week and the U10 and U14 girls who on the same day won their respective County Futsal Competitions and now go to the regionals to represent the county. Well played!

Thank you for your continued support,

Ross Juniors FC Committee

Under 8 Colts need a Manager

We have 15 eager boys in our current Under 7s who train regularly and have played some games. For next season which begins in September they need a Manager. They are a great set of lads and absolutely love their football, so if you are interested in running a team please get in touch with Paul at paulflitney@gmail.com. Full support will be given as well as access to coaching badges. The boys have full kit and sponsors for next season, their games are fortnightly on Saturdays and train once a week. No previous football experience needed, ideal for someone wanting to coach a junior team.
