Well done to all the boys and girls who played and played the games in a very sporting manner. Finally well done to everyone for all their assistance throughout the competition and here’s to the MWC 2018 next season.
At the recent AGM of the WDSL it was decided courtesy of a vote to move the WDSL season to a calendar season.
This means a year ahead of a directive from the FAI that the WDSL will have a “short season” followed by a “long season”.
The “short season” will start beginning of September 2017 and finish the end of November 2017. The new season or long season will commence end of February/ beginning of March 2018 and will finish in November 2018.
There will be breaks during the course of the season to facilitate state exams etc. We will post further details as we get them. Also in another initiative and also due to the amount of girls playing throughout the WDSL the league are looking at setting a girl’s league at U12 and U14 and if this venture proves successful the league will look to extend it to all age groups.
The proposal is to run the girls football every two weeks and all players can double up on their mixed team within their club. Again as we get more information we will post it here.
We have three players celebrating a birthday this coming week and they are Albie Chance from the Under 8’s and Jack Coughlan and Martin Reinhardt from the Under 11’s.
Happy birthday lads from everyone at Newtown Juniors F.C.
