Club receives prestigious awards

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

At the recent Liverpool County FA Charter Standard Awards Evening, the Club and its coaches were delighted and surprised to receive a number of awards.

Birkdale United was named Charter Standard Community Club of the Year, following on from the Development Club of the Year award of twelve months ago. This is a phenomenal achievement and every member of the club should feel great pride as everyone has worked towards this prestigious honour.

It was also a fantastic night for Club Chairman, Kevin Stockley, who was named not only LCFA Coach of the Year but also North West Coach of the Year. Both of these awards are just reward for the work which Kevin has put in, not only this year but over the many years he has been involved with the club. He now goes forward to the National awards and we wish him the very best of luck!

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.
