Already we are in preparation for season 2021 (hoping it's a bit better and freer than 2020...)!
Season 2021 will start in March - so NOW is the time to let me know if anyone out there is interested in playing for Vineyard Cross FC in it's 3rd season
All games are Saturday afternoon at either 1pm or 3pm
Many of the current squad are still getting together and playing (6-a-side) and having informal training
VCFC are looking for 2 kinds of players:
Firstly anyone who feels that they can raise the standard of the current squad (we finished 3rd in Div1 this year but our ambition is definitely HIGHER than that...). Whether you are young (min age is 16yo) or an older (no max age!), experienced guy interested in a competitive but less aggro comp (generally) played in a good spirit, or something in between - please contact us (myself or any of the current team). Fresh blood is always welcome!
Secondly, VCFC has the aim of fielding a team in BOTH divisions. So if you aren't so good, or never played but keen to have a go, or even if you are pretty good but for whatever reason just want to play for fun and help and support others in the Div2 team learn/develop their game, then I need 15+ players willing to form a Churches League Div 2 side for VCFC
NB - the 2 teams will remain separate squads all season (although of course any 2nd team player is welcome to trainings with the Div1 team). The current Constitution does not allow a "reserve team" to feed into the first team - this was discussed at length at our recent CFABM AGM (brought to the table by me) but this comp isn't currently set up or ready for that change even though there was general agreement that it would be a good thing to aim for in the future.
Meanwhile for everyone else - thank you for your support and encouragement - this team is growing in strength and confidence - we really appreciate the fans (looking forward to a real crowd coming to watch us play one day!)
Let us know you are out there and leave a message for us here on our page!
See you all in 2021
