Committee Changes

At our recent AGM we voted in a new committee. Brian Williams, our chair since 2014 decided that it was time for him to step down. When he started as chair we had 33 teams, and the club was called Appleton Boys AFC.

He leaves the club with us expecting to enter 48 teams into leagues next year, including 10 girls teams, making us the largest youth football club in Cheshire.

On top of that, we are looking forward to the Broomfield's leisure centre all weather pitch being upgraded to a new FIFA standard 3G pitch over the summer.

Brian has coached since his eldest was in the academy and will finish with the U18s next season. Everyone at the club thanks him for all his efforts for the club over the last decade.

The new committee is:

• Richard Hartland - Chair
• Tony Little - Vice Chair
• Anabel Kingshott - Treasurer
• Steve McAlley - Secretary
• Christine Bell - Child Welfare Officer
• Kate Little - Head of Girls
• Mark Bellers - Training Officer
• Iain Hill - Fixtures and Pitches
• Mark Collins - Kit and Equipment

Girls & Ladies Football

Football for girls and ladies continues to go from strength to strength. In just over 4 years we have gone from a handful of players to now having over 150 girls registered with the club. We also have around 20 ladies that play on a regular basis and are just starting to enter some competitive matches.

Ladies play on a Tuesday night and welcome players of all ages and abilities.

The girls are running taster sessions in June and July for year 1 girls.
