🥅⚽🥅 - U12 Divisions announced with 2 of our Teams being placed into Division 1, 1 x Team into Division 3 and 1 x Team into Division 5.

-> Congratulations to all 4 of our U12 Mixed Teams (pictured) who have spent the first 9 Rounds of the Season competing for spots in a complex grading process to sort out the various U12 divisions. Football South Coast has just announced the U12 Competition structure for the remainder of the Season, and we have had U12 Black and U12 Red be placed in Division 1, U12.3 in Division 3 and U12.4 placed in Division 5.

-> Well done to all of our U12 Teams, Coaches, Players and Parents as the Team Grading process has played out.

-> Standby for a 2nd separate post which will showcase our 2 x U12 Girls Teams. With the talent and strength across our 6 x U12 Teams in 2026, we are looking good in U13's for 2027 and beyond as this age group progresses through.

🥅⚽🥅Balgownie U10 Red (Advanced) v Balgownie U10 Black (Advanced).

-> Congratulations to both our U10 Red and U10 Black Team's who had a great in house local derby on Saturday at Judy Masters - Ground 5.

-> Great technical skill, flair and determination was shown by both sides, but the best bit was at the end when both Teams happily shook hands and gathered for a Group U10 photo. The future is bright at BJFC, with high quality play at U10's level being shown, combined with good camaraderie, team and Club spirit.

-> Well done to U10 Red Coaches Ben Christiansen and Jeff North and U10 Black Coaches Jacob Miller and Andrew Perre for developing the players both on and off the pitch.
