Children in Need
The younger Knebworth Youth age groups did their bit for the BBC's 'Children in Need' fund raiser in November. The U6 Cubs and U7 Tigers players were asked to arrive for training in super-hero outfits to help raise funds, and the parents of both age groups did a sterling job of making/donating cakes for an after-training sale. In addition to this, the Girls U10 Tigresses turned out for their home fixture against Watford Ladies in their PJ's. In total the three age groups raised around £300 and special thanks to Chloe Beckett for getting everybody organised. Click on the images to enlarge them......or use code KFC001 for the video clip.
Coach Carter responsible for England improvement
England's
much-improved performances in the European Championship qualifiers, after a
dismal World Cup showing, can be attributed to the involvement of Knebworth
Youth coach Denise Carter, who recently joined Fabio Cappello and the
England squad at Arsenal's training ground ahead of the games against
Hungary and Switzerland. Denise was one of a handful of coaches from
Hertfordshire invited along as part of the 'Get into Football' initiative
being organised by the Football Association and they enjoyed watching the
squad being put through their paces by the England coaching team whilst also
conducting a few interviews of their own. Denise was overheard commenting
"how nice" a certain Wayne Rooney was. Well you can't get everything right I
suppose.................
Cheetahs spotted in woods!
The
Knebworth Youth U11 Cheetahs 'Yellows' and 'Blacks' organised a pre-season
'team bonding' event at Battlefield Live up in Sawbridgeworth on Saturday
4th September. With lots of new players coming into the two squads this
summer we thought it would be a nice idea to get them all together and doing
something a little different. The players were dressed up in their
camouflage outfits and kitted out with laser guns before being split into
two teams and sent off into the woods for a team objective. All of the squad
had an enjoyable morning and there is even talk of a parent event in the
near future!
