Chew Valley FC has completed another very successful season of junior football. The clubs various teams won a total of 10 trophies in the Midsomer Norton and District Youth Football League, including 3 league titles and 3 Cup wins.

Under 9's: League Winners Division C1 & League Cup runners-up
Under 10's: League Winners Division A2 & League Cup runners-up
Under 11's: League runners-up Division A & KO Cup Winners & League Cup Winners
Under 12's: League runners-up Division A
Under 13's: League Winners Division A & League Cup Winners
Under 14's: 3rd place in Division A (highest ever finish)
Under 15's: Another season of continued development for the team.

Two age groups completed winning doubles. After narrowly missing out on the league title, with only one defeat all season, the U11s completed their season with a fantastic cup double. The U13s completed a league and cup double, this for the second year running.

With an aim to provide quality football coaching from a young age, it is great to see the younger groups (U9s and U10s) also doing so well at an early stage. We coach boys from age 6 at the club sessions on a Saturday morning at Chew Valley School.

Another development is the mini soccer schools for children as young as four at Chew Stoke Village Hall and an after-school club at the sports centre. The sessions, recently started by Dave Hedges, offer a fun introduction to ball and co-ordination skills for pre-school children.

Over the past year our club has supported the sports development project at Chew Valley School and played an important role in helping to secure the funding. The work on the new facilities (including an all weather astro-pitch) has now started and we have signed a partnership agreement with the school for priority use of the facilities.

We have made excellent progress in such a short time and we all look forward to further enjoyment and success in football. The Football Foundation have been supportive of our development and recently awarded us a grant. We also thank all parents and the following sponsors for their continued support:

Scottish Equitable, Bank of Ireland, Broadoak Cider, Kelston Sparkes, Innogy plc, Stoke Inn, Trigon, Bristol Water and also to Dave Stevenson of Manor Mortgages who has provided great financial support to the club on a continued basis.
