Birkdale United AFC

Pitch Finder has finally been added, initially to help teams who may need to visit us for the first time, we have started to add local shops as well should people require drinks. Soon we will start adding pitches around the local area to help you with directions if required. To get directions simply click on the footballer and the option appears in the window. Google then does the rest.

The guestbook has now been removed from the site, this is basically because of the lack of use over the last 12 months. Pitch Finder has replaced the page.

The Managers’ Meeting is on Sunday 22nd February 2009, at the Blundell Arms, Birkdale. It will commence at 6.30pm. All Managers are expected to attend, any apologies should be forwarded to Club Secretary, Sharon Caul.

New team Birkdale United Under 8`s North claim First Victory

The boys beat Southport Trinity Whites 5-2 in a friendly played at the Rookery on Sunday 14th December

Following on from the earlier victory for the South team, Birkdale Under 8`s North secured a great win on a fantastic playing surface.

Despite being short of 4 strong players due to illness and injury the team battled well for 40 minutes and deserved more than the five goals scored. (Two of the goals were absolute screamers, going into the top corner).

Rather than name a man of the match it was decided that they all should take the honour (including Joe, our on – loan player for the day).

So well done, Jonathan, Sam, James, Cameron (one goal), Max (four goals) and Alex.

Hopefully when Christopher, Lukas, Thomas and Matthew are available there will be more thrilling results.

Well done boys, have a great Christmas and may all your wishes come true at this great time of the year.
