Congratulations to Wyvern, Locomotives, White Hart Rangers, Hulan, Taverners, Swallowfield, Sampford Blues, Staplegrove all of which have achieved the Standard.

It is now up to the rest of you Clubs to take up the Gauntlet and apply. Nick Stilton has drafted all the Documents on line on our website for you to print off and apply.  There is no cost to the Club other then the cost of a first aid course at £15 if you have no qualified person. In return you will receive discounts on Umbro Kit and possible grants towards larger projects such as changing room's refurbishments Goalpost etc.
