All Club members are encouraged to support our end of season Club Day. We want to include and involve everyone, young and old. Older players are encouraged to cheer on the youngsters in their games. Be at Small heath for 1.00pm and bring both red and white shirts.

Everyone is then invited back to the Co-op Sports and Social Club for food, drink and chat. We have the room booked from 5.00 until 7.00pm We hope that as many as possible will gather to round off the season in a suitable manner. We also want to help Jim to celebrate his 80th birthday at this time.

The 1st X1 can gain much comfort from the fact they earned more league points than last season and finished higher up the league. It was most unfortunate that Ismail's injury, late in the season, put paid to a final flourish. However, the performances of the younger players introduced this season have been most impressive and give the Club much hope for a brighter future.

The 2nd X1 Fathom side only played thirteen games throughout the whole season because of the apparent collapse of the Fathom structure. The playing record, such as it is, reads pretty impressively with eight wins, two draws and only three defeats. The team also averaged three goals a game. Munib Altaf was leading scorer with twelve. Roll on next season and a full fixture list!!

The Badgers started well, undefeated in their first three games, but then stumbled with four defeats without scoring a single goal, before recovering with two more victories. In the seven games played since Christmas only one game was lost, albeit to Cannock 'A'. Haseeb Altaf showed his potential as leading goalscorer, with nine goals. All in all a good season.

To date, the u12s have played seven games, winning three of them. The team did very well to almost win the Club's own tournament. The season ends with the annual trip to Wales for the international matches there!!
