Forres Area Soccer 7s

Football for boys and girls regardless of their ability.

Summer Break

By

Dear Players, Parents and friends of Forres Area Soccer 7s

Already, we have reached the halfway mark of the 2019 season and parents and coaches are getting a well-deserved break.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all (and in particular our coaches) for coming along week in and week out to ensure boys and girls from Forres and the surrounding area get the opportunity to play football.

We have already had a busy season so far with over 170 players signing up and more still arriving which is great. Remember late arrivals will now benefit from half price membership so if you know anyone who wants to get involved, get them signed up before the end of the holidays to maximise their playing time.

Don’t forget football returns on Sunday 18th August, so please make sure you all rested before then!!

***Newsflash***

The club is also hoping to hold a 7miles for Soccer 7s sponsored walk in the near future, more details to follow ASAP.

Enjoy the holidays

Really competitive game with end to end stuff with only George knicking the winner.

One way traffic from Credit Union, some sloppy defending and a tidy finish was the difference.

A very quick start from Canary Dwarf meant that Lossie Garage found it hard to come back into the macth.

Top class match with end to end stuff. Fraser Campbell sneaks in for Lossie G to go 1-0 up. Great determination from Cody Horton to find the equalizer for Cluny’s.

Tom Ross & Sons 1 – 2 Sinclair Taylor

Fair Play Award – Riley & Blair, Callum, Cole

Great footballing display from ST. Tom Ross spent 10 minutes defending. Unable to attack, Tom Ross did well to keep their heads up and not give up.

Fair Play Award – Jaydan Grimwood & Liam Kelly – Ellio

Another strong display from Canary Dwarf. Two great goals from Finlay McQueen, Macleans battled hard with some good defending.

Round 1

The wind played it’s part in a game of few chances. Mundole converted their chances into goals. A very good close game.

Malone Plastering Services 5 – 1 Beaver Travel

Fair Play Award – Ashley Grieg & Jack Souter

A very difficult game for Beaver today, played some great football with some potential crosses ending up in the nets at both ends helped by the wind. Great saves all round especially from Ashley Grieg with some one on one saves.

Round 2

Mundole Taxis 2 – 0 Grigor & Young

Selection Day Postponed

By

Unfortunately due to the weather the club has made the decision to postpone the Selection Day, which was suppose to happen this Sunday 3rd Feb.

Looking at the forecast and what we think is best for everyone involved is that we move the Selection Day and start of the season by two weeks. Therefore the new dates are as follows;

Selection Day on the 17th Feb 10:00-11:30. Remember this is only for the Super 5’s (7-9 year olds) and the Junior 7’s (10-12 year olds).

Start of the season will be on the 3rd March. Developmental 4’s 10:00-11:10, Super 5’s and Junior 7’s to be at Grant Park for 11:00 to kickoff at 11:30.

The reason for the two week break in between the Selection Day and the start of the season is to allow the club time to arrange players in teams. We then give the coaches their teams and they will be in contact with you to pass on more information regarding training etc.

In the mean time please get in touch with the club if you have any questions, through our Facebook page or at office@forres-soccer7s.co.uk

Kind regards

Paul Lynch, Chairman
