Help support two of our own! The amazing Ben and Scott - Swarthmoor coaches - are undertaking a whopping 25-mile, one-day paddling challenge to raise money for the club and support our teams. Please show your support with a small donation if you can - and share the link far and wide for us!

BDJFL fixtures 5th September - Dennis Boyd

As you may know, sadly Dennis Boyd passed away this week.

Dennis was treasured by so many in junior and senior football. He has left plenty of memories and a legacy for the area and his club Barrow Celtic to continue to build upon.

He will be greatly missed and our thoughts are with his family and all that knew him.

To pay our respects to Dennis, SJFC teams will participate in a minutes silence or applause at our fixtures today.

This season, if you see a referee wearing a yellow armband, they are a child.

A young person brave enough to pick up a whistle, walk into the middle of a football pitch and make decisions in front of players, coaches and parents.

They won't get every decision right.

Neither will the players.
Neither will the coaches.
Neither will you.

So when you see that yellow armband:

Be patient.
Encourage them.
Protect them.
Let them learn.

Because that 15-year-old you support this weekend could become a referee for the next 30 years.

The one who gets shouted at, abused or humiliated?

They might put the whistle down on Sunday and never pick it up again.

Please share this message.

And this weekend, if you see the yellow armband, remember the child wearing it. 💛⚽
