The match took place at the Jubilee Centre in Savages Wood Road. The entertainment kicked off at 1pm with the Bradley Stoke Youth U7s team playing a friendly match against each other.  With the sun shining, they all played really well and most enjoyed a well earned hot dog and cool drink afterwards.

Bradley Stoke Scouts turned up with their collection buckets, collecting on behalf of Bradley Stoke Scouts, Bradley Stoke Town FC and Bradley Stoke Youth FC.

Raffle tickets were on sale to help raise funds with prizes to include various football items.

The main event started at 2:30 with the U7’s walking with the teams on to the pitch.  A very proud moment for
on-looking mums and dads (including myself!).

At half-time everyone had the chance to take part in a penalty shoot out against one of the celebrities. Well done to those of you that put one past him!

The final score was 3-2 to the celebs with goals from Paul Zambrzycki and Andy Hurrell from Bradley Stoke Town.  The 3 goals for the celebs came from Joe Love, Manor Farm FC, Phil Mills, Stoke Lane FC and Joe White Bristol Rovers apprentice.

Man of the match for BSTFC was Brad Clark.

The 2nds had a more successful weekend defeating Almondsbury 2^nd’s by 98 runs. Paul Peterson top scored for the 2^nd week in a row contributing 66 to Bradley Stokes 230 for 6.  After a decent start from Almondsbury,   they struggled to keep up with the run rate and eventually batted out there overs to end 132/9 with Chris Phillips returning figures of 10/3.

The 3^rd team recorded their 2^nd win of the season beating Bitton A by 44 runs at Bradley Stoke School whilst the fourths league match at Pucklechurch was called off.

The purpose of the sessions is to get children involved in football and hopefully they will continue with the football outside of their school.  Each school receives 3 sessions of football coaching from BSYFC FA Qualified coaches. Every session is based on fun based
skill coaching using the latest FA techniques.

The school is then invited to the annual BSYFC Football Festival, which is part of the Bradley Stoke Town Festival.  The event this year is on Saturday June 8^th on the top field at the Jubilee Centre.  Start time is 12 noon with first match kick off around 12.15pm.
All the 140 children taking part will receive a medal and goody bag.  All schools receive a cup and many prizes are on offer including full football team strips and football coaching kits.  The cups each year just keep getting larger with last year winning cup being 18ins tall …… this year the winning cup is a mighty 33ins tall…… it might just be bigger than the children.  See photo.

BSYFC have also been going into 4 local schools providing football coaching sessions to Year 3 and 4 girls.  This has resulted in over 120 girls having the chance to try football and hopefully they will all continue to play. The club is linked with the local womens Bristol Academy WFC Team (Come on the Vixens) and we often have star striker Annie-Marie Heatherson at our girls training
sessions giving valuable tips and running exercises.  Annie also presented the trophies at our recent Girls Presentation Night held at the Aztec West Hotel.

In 2012 the club expanded to running football coaching sessions for children with disabilities. The sessions run every 2 weeks on a Saturday morning.  The club is already an highlighted service provider for football on the National Autistic Society
(NAS) web site. If you have a child with special requirements then the club may be able to help. The club currently covers children between 6 and 11 years old.

Any children interested in joining the club can contact Martin Lee at mlee1@btopenworld.com for more information.

Anyone interested in sponsoring the club or anyone wanting to coach or manage a team or just wants to get involved can also contact Martin.

BSYFC is an award winning FA Charter Standard Community Club.  The club website is at www.bsyfc.co.uk

The entertainment will start at 1pm with the Bradley Stoke Youth U7s match before the main event which kicks off at 2.30pm.

Heart Angels will be there to entertain the crowd and refreshments will be available i.e. burger van, ice cream van and soft drinks/water on sale from the Jubilee Centre. There will also be a raffle with prizes to include various football items.

Introduced by Bristol’s Mayor George Ferguson, the summit features keynote speakers including council members, prominent farmers and chefs leading the way in sustainable food production and cooking.

Stakeholders including the Bristol Pound, Transition Bristol and the Soil Association – the UK’s leading charity campaigning for healthy, humane, sustainable food, farming and land use were all present to promote the cause.

Eat Drink Bristol Fashion’s Tapas and Champagne Bar is open on Queen Square from 13th to 27th May featuring Josh Eggleton’s “modern British” tapas, while 20 restaurants will ‘pop-up’ individually in the Fine Dining tipi to provide a culinary experience for 100 diners.

George Ferguson commented; “We want Bristol to know where it’s food is sourced. Now is a time for action if we are to make a difference as change takes a long time. Let’s make sure our children know where our food comes from and put provenance at the heart of our city’s make up.”

Amelia Twine, organiser of Eat Drink Bristol Fashion explained; “Eat Drink Bristol Fashion is committed to sustainability in food
production and our tapas menu has recently been recognised with a Soil Association Gold Catering Mark – making us the first event organiser in the country to achieve this fantastic accolade for the sourcing and treatment of their food. Our 15 day food bonanza begins today and we can’t think of a more fitting way to start it off.”

The 1^st team were put into bat first on a two paced wicket but put on a solid start with Adam Davis and Joe Coles putting on **** for the 1^st wicket.  The opening partnership was ended by a C Diaper slower ball that deceived the batsman leaving BS at **/1.  From then on wickets fell regularly with Steve Davis contributing 44 off of 47 balls to edge Bradley Stoke on to a below par 130 all out.

However in the field, left arm opening bowler Bhushan Mankar struck early for BS to remove Bittons top four, and then ran out the Bitton skipper leaving them struggling on ***/5.   From the other end left arm spinner Wayne Passmore got in on the act, bamboozling the batsman to claim figures of **/5.  A great bowling and fielding performance led by Dan Tobin who claimed three catches including the opener and the final wicket of the game which claimed victory for BS.

The seconds had a potentially tricky home tie against the ever dangerous Bristol Pakistanis.  The Pakistanis were first to bat and it
wasn’t long before Graham Purnell had removed the oppositions top three claiming match figures of 36/3. Bristol Pakistanis middle order rallied with scores of 44, 15 and 33 before being cleaned up for 157ao. Youngster Ashley Baber claimed 2/26 and a run out whilst spinner Chris Phillips took 2/11 and Captain Gareth Price claiming the last two wickets to leave himself with figures of 15/2.

Bradley Stoke lost two early wickets losing Tim Batt for 1 and No 3 Sriram Belakonda for 0. But the second wicket brought in skipper Gareth Price (61) and along with the ever consistent opener Paul Peterson (73) guided the home side to a comfortable victory with an unbroken 3^rd wicket partnership of 155 inside of 25 over’s.

There were 2 home games on Thursday 2^nd May: the Reserves, sponsored by Bradley Stoke Matters, ended with a 2 – 2 draw against Hallen B, with goals from Mohamid Amin and Carl O’Connell. The A team, sponsored by Lifestyle, ended with a  0 – 4 defeat to top of the table Rangeworthy.

On Saturday 4th May, the final home match of the season took place with the A team losing 0 – 4 to Stanton Drew Reserves who finished in 3rd place in the league, and finishing the season just below mid-table.

The B team won 0 – 1 away to Iron Acton but unfortunately ended at the bottom of the table after early season defeats but with a strong finish at the end.

Manager Ian commented ‘Despite not having a very successful season in terms of wins, it has been enjoyable to watch them play. I feel we just haven’t had the luck in some games but mainly it’s been not being able to field the same team consistently’.

On Saturday the 18^th May all teams will be playing in a Charity match against Mayors 11 at the Jubilee Centre, Bradley Stoke.  All proceeds will be split 50/50 between Air Ambulance and BSYFC/BSTFC.  Ahead of the game BSYFC U7s will play a match before being mascots and walking out with the adult team.

Why not come along and show your support! U7s kick off at 2:20 and adults kick off at 3pm

Out of 12 games the girls have won a total of seven against well established clubs such as TeamBath and TJ’s that have been running for years.

The girls found out their success on Sunday 5^th May 2013 with the medals being presented at the Avon Netball Association AGM in June.

Bristol Academy Netball Club was established in June 2012 after demand from girls in the local area for a new Junior Netball Club. There is currently an U12 and U14 squad and the Academy will be launching an U16 team for next season.

Head Coach, Alii Hucker, said: “This is a great achievement for the U14 squad especially as it their first year as a team. The girls have worked hard this year and finishing in 2^nd place is fantastic and has made all the effort worthwhile.”
