Pre-Season Training Thursday 2nd July 2009, 08:33 pm
So it all starts again; the dreaded pre-season training!
We hope to see as many of you as possible this Sunday 5th July, Barnfield College at 11am. We will be working on fitness and ball control for the next few weeks before starting our friendly fixtures towards the back end of July.
If you are a player looking for a new club, then feel free to join us at these training sessions and see how you get on. We're looking for players of all ages and playing positions, especially young players just finishing youth football to give the team some legs.
Cheers
Rich
Looking to the future Tuesday 23rd June 2009, 10:05 am
With the 2008/09 season well and truly completed, it is now time to look to the swiftly approaching new season.
There will be alot of changes coming for the club over the summer. Firstly the club name; as of 1st July 2009 we will be known as Co-op Sports FC. This is thanks to the Luton Co-operative Club on Stockingstone Road providing us with quality post-match food and a new base to run the club from. The merger will see both parties benefit greatly with the football club being able to expand into Saturday, Youth and Girls football in the future. It will also mean that the club can hold various functions, speaker dinners, race nights etc to generate funds so you; the players pay less per week to play! Winners all round!
A big addition this season, part of the clubs 3 year plan is the inclusion of Co-op Sports (Saturday), who will be competing in the Luton, District & South Beds Division 1 this term. Being managed by Gavin Smith, we expect the team he is putting together to bring silverware to the club.
In line with these changes, the club is currently building a new website which should be finished by end of August, it will be alot bigger than the current one to allow room for expansion and will be more interative for users.
We are happy to announce that our main shirt sponsor
Toyo Tires
have agreed to continue to support the team for the 2009/10 season. We would also like to welcome our new away shirt sponsor
www.valuetyres.co.uk
The online discount tyre retailer has signed up for an initial 1 season sponsorship deal with an agreement to extend for a further season should the club deliver its contractual promises. With both of these sponsors in place, it puts the club on sound financial footing to offer its players a new away strip, new & improved training equipment, coaching badges for players and if all goes to plan; reduced playing costs.
Saying that; as with other grass roots football clubs, we are constantly looking for additional sponsorship, so if you know someone that may be interested in helping the club. We currently are looking for Training/Warm Up Jacket sponsors, Back of Shirt sponsors and online link advertising. Please email me through the site if this is something you would like to discuss.
Heres looking to the new season.

Challenge Cup Winners Monday 20th April 2009, 05:47 pm
Well Done to the whole team for winning the Challenge Cup on Sunday!!!
After the disappointment of being Runners up last season, the lads did a fine job, beating Lea Sports PSG Reserves 2-0. Nick Hodges scoring both goals and picking up the Man of the Match award in the process.
Photos will be up on the site of both the game and the frolics afterwards shortly.
Challenge Cup Final Friday 27th March 2009, 05:37 pm
Our Challenge Cup Final has been confirmed as;
Lea Sports Pirton Reserves vs Bird & Bush
The fixture is to be played on 19th April 2pm kickoff @ Ampthill Football Club.
Admission is only £1 per ticket so it would be good to see as many supporters there as possible, especially considering the late kickoff, so no 'sleeping in' excuses. The club is also pleased to announce that all profits the club makes from the final will be donated to Keech Cottage Childrens Hospice.
