Buckden Roundabout
December 2019
Sport
Buckden Junior Football Club
The season continues here at BJFC – this last
month has seen some amazing performances
from all teams who continue to make us
proud with their great level of play in the
Hunts Youth League.
Winter Training is now in full force, with our
teams making use of the many all weather pitches available to
us in the local area.
Our home pitches have fallen foul of the large amount of rain-
fall in the last few weeks. At BJFC We are extremely lucky to
have the professional assistance of ProLawn Care, and Sam and
his team do an amazing job of ensuring that our pitch remains
of enviably high quality – which at this time of year is no mean
feat!
Christmas Market Tombola
We will again be holding our tombola stall at the Christmas
Market and Lights Switch On event on Sunday 1
st
December.
All money goes towards equipment and provisions for the club.
Please make sure you visit us on the day!

Our Dribblers sessions are now split into two - older dribblers
(school year 1) on a Saturday 9am – 10am and our younger
dribblers (age 3 and above) now on a Sunday at the same time.
Our Development Sessions run on a Sunday from 9am – 10am.
The aim of these sessions is to give children aged U7-U10
(school years 2-5) a chance to learn the skills they need to as-
sist them in the future with finding a team – please contact us
for more details.
Don’t forget our tea bar runs every Saturday – hot and cold
drinks, bacon and sausage rolls from 9am each week.
For more information on the club, joining a team or the com-

All Players, Coaches, volunteers and Committee members

py New Year.
Buckden Football Club
News
BFC play in the Cambridgeshire County Leagues, Division 2A.
We are a friendly club based at the recreation ground in Buck-
den and welcome you to watch a game and join us for refresh-
ments in the Village club during and after! There is a football
card available behind the bar on match days if you would like
to take part for 50 pence a team.
Buckden continue to develop their relationship with St Neots
Town FC and welcome two new players from their academy,
both just 17, looking for men's football as part of their develop-
ment. Thomas "Bart" Bartlett our new goalkeeper, over 6-foot-
tall and the tricky midfielder Mati born in Poland, looking to
establish himself in men's football as part of his development,
before hoping to return to St Neots.
Long term injured (Groin) Josh Davis returns this month to
boost the defence with his solid no nonsense approach. We
also welcome back Shippy, the fitness fanatic, after his early
season absence with work commitments and the travelling
talent of Josh Ling returning for a short spell from the USA.
Sadly, we lose Chris Dennis to refereeing and Shano to a chron-
ic back injury and work commitments
