Junior Soccer League (JSL) is Greater Manchester's newest league, which has just completed affiliation to Manchester FA. Recently established in June 2010, JSL provides the opportunity for children within mini soccer age groups (5-11 yr olds) to take part in unique football events run from a central venue, which offers participants the highest standards of playing facilities and organisation.

JSL has already operated a highly successful summer league competition that was home to over 200 children throughout the summer weekends. The summer league was the first event of a long term plan that will bring new & exciting opportunities for children with an active interest in football.

Opportunities are also in place for children who want to get involved in the game and develop their skills by attending the league's own coaching school, JSL Academy, which was launched in July 2010. Major success has already been achieved through the introduction of children without any previous football experience into league competition, initially via the JSL Summer League and ultimately on to new community club teams which they will now represent over the forthcoming season.

The next JSL offering will be a 4-a-side league, which gives children exactly what they want whilst developing them in the best way possible for the bigger game.

JSL Fours is the perfect opportunity for coaches to develop their young teams and for children to express themselves in an environment that offers:

* More passes

* More goals

* More 1 v 1's

* More opportunity to attempt tricks

JSL Fours is a complimentary offering rather than a competitive one. The competition has been designed with convenience in mind and so it does not interfere with a team's existing league commitments. It will be an action packed, high tempo competition run from a central venue that will develop existing teams and create opportunities for community clubs to build new teams.

The venue for this season's competition is the state of the art Failsworth Soccer Centre complex situated just off J22 of the M60. The centre's location is perfect to appeal to all teams within the Greater Manchester area & the all-weather, floodlit 3G pitches ensure all year round action without interruption.

Registration into the league is free of charge and can be done online at

Best wishes,

Kevin

The Angels made a strong showing again the Unicorn Comp. The Under 14's teams got to the Semi Final were they met in a local derby as the two Man City teams were drawn in the other semi. The Blues got through to the final in thier ninth game of the day and lost thier first game. The Under 12's Inter team also went through to the final undefeated, only to lose out after playing most of thier games 1 player down. The stars of the day were the mini Angels, the year 3 & 4 team who won through to the Semi Final against bigger girls.

With 1 team in the quarters, 2 semi finalists and 2 runners up in a very competitive tournament it was a good day for the ANGELS

THANKS!!!!!!

As we go into the Summer Comps. Chris Strettons team join the Angels winners table as his team win the Flixton Cup. Well done to Chris and the Girls

Kevin's team have just achieved thier own double treble with the latest success coming at Signol Athletic JFC on Sunday.

"In a phenomenal season packed with success, Heyside JFC U10's have just completed a double treble. The team achieved a league double by winning the Manchester Youth & Mini Soccer League and Bowlee League Champions titles. The talented youngsters have also added 4 Tournament Champions titles to their roll of honour this season with successes coming at Mossley JFC, Curzon Ashton FC, Stalybridge Celtic FC, & Signol Athletic JFC." 

Coach Kevin Dunkerley said "Success on the scale that the boys have achieved as a group doesn't just happen, it has to be worked for. As a group our boys' efforts have been immense throughout a long, hard season. They thoroughly deserve all the rewards and recognition they have earned over the course of this season."

Under 15's/Under 14's win through to Final

The lads were unlucky to lose on penalties in the final of the sv Heumen International tourny in Holland, only conceding 1 goal in 5 matches and that was in the final and was an own goal. The team were the youngest team in the Competition. The team were commended by the organisers in the way they took thier defeat and Jordan Cooper recieved a great player trophy for his outstanding performance.

Heyside Under 12's Clarets won the Urmston Meadowside runners up trophy. 

The girls played really well and gave City a run their money losing in the final

One team was made up of mainly of girls new to football and they put on brilliant display. After a slow start, they grew in confidence, winning their last two matches and only missing out on the semi-finals by one point. Manager for the day Pete Radcliffe did a great job with the girls encouraging them all the way. Well done team: Ellie A, Emilia, Tia, Ellie R, Kayla and Megan.
 
The under 10s double winners blasted their way to the semi-finals, winning all seven group matches in baking-hot conditions, without conceding a goal, despite their usual goalie being away for the weekend. They continued their good form, winning the semi-final 3-0 before a tough final with Alty Chicks which we battled through to win 1-0. We had no subs and the girls were a credit to the club, being sensible in between matches and conserving their energy. What a team! Robyn, Abbie, Bethany, Aislin, Rachael and Emily.
