A LACHE Junior Football Club with teams entered in the local junior leagues could become a reality in Chester for next season following a successful Football Frenzy event.
Parents came along to support their children at Lache Primary School field and watched them being trained in football skills and competing in mini soccer games.
This type of event not only helps the children learn the necessary football skills but develops their co-ordination and team working skills combined with healthy exercise and fun.
Afterwards at Lache Community Centre, everyone who took part was awarded a certificate presented by Levi Mackin who plays for Chester FC.
Following their successful year, winning The Tom Gerraghty Memorial cup and The C&DFA Challenge Cup and also winning the Division 2 league, Lache FC wants to provide football for younger children.
Errol Stephenson–Tyrell, director of Genesis Training, provided the necessary support and guidance for local coaches Dan Burns, Tom Bailey, Matthew Roberts and Kieran Spain with members of Lache FC to facilitate the event.
The girls were not to be outdone by the boys and several joined in to play while Lizzy McGovern and Nay-Levi Tyrell provided the administrative support, making sure all the paperwork was completed and certificates printed.
Lache Cllr Alex Tate said: “Many local people came together to provide this event for the children, supported by their parents.
“I really hope that by working together the junior football team will be developed and become a reality and that the players will go on to be as successful as Lache FC.”
