UNDER 6’s Interest in our HWJFC U6’s started in July last year, and we ran an open evening to come along and meet us and have some fun....all the way back on August 7th 2020. The interest and uptake was amazing and, before we knew it, we had 30 Year 1 children starting training on a Friday evening; and the start of a blossoming waiting list of other keen players and parents! Since last August our training partner Destination Sport has nurtured these U6’s through the year, and they are now ready to form 4 new teams playing in the North East Hants Youth League at U7’s this coming season. We will have our first U7 all-girls Tigers team, as well our boys playing in the U7 Kites, U7 Falcons and U7 Eagles. Thank you in advance to next season’s U7 Parents and Managers who have already stepped up to run the teams for us. And don’t forget, the rest of the HWJFC Managers and Club Committee and Officers will be here to support you along the way!

What a season the boys have had! When we came out of lockdown in April, I’m not sure what they
all had been eating but it seemed to work!
The boys really have a great sense of teamwork about them and this saw them scoring a lot of goals in the league and
making great progress in the Salver Cup all the way to the Final where, despite losing 4-0, it was a great experience
for the boys who battled all the way to the end (I blame the coach!)
Highlights from this season are too many to count but included Ben’s halfway worldie! Shaun’s Cup hatrick! Elliott’s
halfway line free kick and Cup penalty saving heroics! Tom’s penalty shootout winner! Ted’s bags of goals and assists!
Will C for captaining the side to our biggest victory, 9-2 (and scoring!) Will D for his defensive heroics all season and
disallowed penalty (apparently it was kicked too hard!!) Josh for so many trademark runs bursting through the middle
to score decisive goals (but only after checking out the full-time biscuit situation!).
Overall a season to be proud of boys. You always tried your best, supported each other and, most importantly,
had some fun with your mates!
I look forward to doing it again next season - well done Eagles!
