Last night I attended a meeting of the Ashton Town Football club and was very impressed with what I heard. The Club is making every effort to involve the whole of the local community from under 8s to over 35s in their activities. In the last few weeks they have held their first coaching courses for the 5-12 year olds which were attended by three hundred young people. They are entering under 8s, 9s, 10s, 11s and 12s teams into the league for the first time next season and are holding more coaching courses in the summer which are already oversubscribed.
They are looking for more coaches for their teams so if anyone is interested please contact James and Clare Horner on clarehorner17@btinternet.com.
Finally they are holding a sportsman's dinner on the 4th July 2008 at the club guest speaker Nobby Stiles for which tickets are still available.
The only disappointment I had at the meeting was that they did not have a team for my age -- the well over 50s to play very slow but cultured football.
