Church Lane, A28 opposite Westfield Church President: Mrs Pamela Chamberlain Vice-President: Mrs Dinah Blackman Captain: Mrs Pamela Barden he Autumn weather was very kind to us this year. In late September a T considerable amount of reseeding was done on the green and due to the Indian summer, most of it has germinated resulting in a good covering of grass which bodes well for next season. This year we finished about half way in the league which after last season was a shade disappointing. At our annual dinner and trophy presentation evening around forty members enjoyed an excellent meal before the awards were announced: Competition Winner Runner Up Ron Chamberlin Cup E. Law S.

Westfield Youth FC The new youth football season is well underway as we head into the colder & darker months. Our three youth teams all play in the Rother Youth League which has teams from Eastbourne in the West to Goudhurst and Tonbridge to the North and Rye in the East. Our new u7 side has been together since late August but are progressing well. With new players joining there are still 2-3 spaces. If your child wishes to play locally and is aged u7 at 31/8/18 or attains the age of 6 before the end of the season get in contact. U7 home matches are played at our amazing Mill Lane Pitch on alternative Saturday mornings. Pop in if you are passing to see this great bunch of players. Our u14's have had a good start to the season with several wins and a draw. Parent volunteer Andy G completed his CRC and Level 1 FA coaching qualification this month. Great job! Andy will gradually take primary responsibility for the u14 team. The u14 do have a couple of spaces (yr 9) if your child is looking. (I don't think Westfield is unique but we find it really challenging to keep the older age groups (13-17yrs) engaged and committed to their football development as other interests start taking over). Our u15's are doing well this year with lots of new players. Their determination to overcome last season's results is starting to show on the pitch and they will get what they deserve soon. Both the u14/15 play on the main Parish field - so if you are passing, pop along and see how the teams are getting on. So to your club - yes it is your club, member or not WYFC is here to primarily provide association football opportunities for our children. But we’re finding it really difficult to make ends meet, without the ongoing support from our local sponsors, donations and volunteers giving their time it might be impossible to continue. Our need to change approach and priorities is evident on our balance sheet. Recently I have been successful in getting a massive £400 donation from the WCA to enable us to create, hosting and manage a club website. This will cover the direct costs for 2yrs and is being provided at a very reduced rate. (westfieldfcwebmaster@gmail.com) What will it provide? The possibilities are endless, but it will be a News, results and contact hub. There will be resources from the FA Charter Standard, safeguarding and advice articles. We will have a club committee section, chairman's blog plus all our sponsors will benefit from direct links to their business websites. We will add local links to important service providers and local clubs, WCA & Parish Council to name just a few. I would like to thank all the WCA committee for supporting us. Don't forget to contact us if you want to get involved, have a child or group of children that are looking to join a team, can help the club as a volunteer or by sponsorship.
