Here we go, here we go, here we go with another season of Albury Eagles.
Saturday 6th September sees action kicking off again on Albury Heath. Indeed, some of our squads have been in training for a couple of weeks already.
This will be the eighth season for the club, and I think it is true to say that the season just past was our most successful yet.
There were promotions for three of our 11 a side teams in the Horsham and District Youth Football League.
The new U15s and new U13s Eagles sides will now both be playing in the A division of their age groups, whilst the new U12 Eagles team have moved up to the B division.
Meanwhile at U9 last season, our Griffins side won their league by a country mile, winning all but one of their 18 fixtures. Eagles Committee voted them our ‘team of the year’!
The 2007-08 season signed off at Fun Day on the Heath on 22nd June, with three tournaments centred on the Euro 2008 theme, and customary presentation of the season’s awards.
Thankfully this year, the gongs had been delivered on time!
A profit of £800 was also realized on the day.
