Birkdale United AFC

Bet that got your attention!

For the 2009/10 season, the existing Youth team will be moving to Open Age, so for the second time the Club will have a Ladies team. It is the goal of the club that this team will be sustainable over the years, giving every single girl who starts playing football for Birkdale United  the opportunity to carry on as long as they wish, establishing multiple teams in a variety of competitions if necessary.

To this end, and to supplement the existing squad, if there are any ladies (16+) who are interested in joining a successful,  motivated and united team, then please contact Noel Warham or Sharon Caul using the contacts page.

The West Lancashire Girls League Challenge Cup Finals brought further success for the club’s teams.

The Under 11 North put in another sparkling performance to beat a gallant Euxton side 6-0. This meant that the girls had completed the treble of League, League Cup and Challenge Cup. This is an outstanding achievement which only one Birkdale side has managed before (the current Under 14′s), and they deserve great plaudits for what has been an outstanding season.

The Under 12′s also finished their season on a high with a hard-fought 3-0 win over Northfield. This meant that they completed the Cup Double, and added to their runners-up spot in the league, means that they have enjoyed another outstanding season.

Well done to all coaches, players and parents for these fantastic achievements.

The Under 11 Diamonds travelled to Blackpool this morning to take part in the B.J.F.F. tournament, and underlined their recent progress by winning the tournament. Out of seven games they won 5, drew 1 and lost 1. Congratulations to Duggy and the girls, we’ll have some photos of the victorious team on the website in the next few days.
