Cholsey Bluebirds Under 9s 2017/18
Summary from last season
2016/17 as Under 8s The Under 8's have had another great season in the A League. Three very successful and positive tournaments also completed! All the boys are growing in strength, ability, a greater understanding of the game and teamwork. The boys, Duncan and I are looking forward to moving up to 7 a side and the bigger pitch, which also offers new challenges for us all! My thanks to the boys, Duncan and all the parents for this season (and Freddie for ref duties), let's get ready for the next!! Mark Reeves |

Summary of the 2015-16 Season
Well where to begin? My first season with the Bluebirds as a manager / coach and what a fantastic one it has been!
It started with my first signing on process; piles of paperwork, cash, cheques, e-mails, and photos flying in from all angles. The team kit, balls, water bottles and first aid kit (well I’m still waiting for Duncan for that!) ordered and we were kitted out for the league season.
15 wonderfully enthusiastic, crazy, noisy, mad but a joy to be with (well most of the time) children all ready to go. Pre-season training started well, with lots of positive signs.
Our opening two League games ended in victories, followed by a draw, a defeat and a final win. A great start, which meant then we were seeded into the ‘A’ League for the second section of the season. A fantastic achievement by all involved. There followed many tougher opponents with the boys having to work even harder; growing in strength, skills and maturity, unfortunately Duncan stayed the same!!
The League season was completed with us finishing in 3rd place within our League which is something that both Duncan and I are extremely proud of. We hope that our boys, parents and supporters are too, considering there are 35 other teams within the Under 7’s League setup !!
The boys acquitted themselves really well at the three summer tournaments we attended; showing a real team spirit, and playing some lovely football.
I would personally like to thank my trusty assistant Duncan who has always been there to support me, although on some occasions his contributions / suggestions have been questionable!
The boys are a pleasure to be with!! We can’t wait for next season!
Finally, thanks to all at the club for welcoming me and for their ongoing advice and support which is also extended to the parents.
