Do you use Facebook or Twitter?

Then we suggest you read the following article fon County FA, It starts

I am writing in relation to the use of social networking websites by football participants.

The County FA has seen an increase in the number of complaints and referrals it has received in relation to postings on social networking sites such as Twitter & Facebook. This is of concern to the County FA and we would ask you to remind all participants within your club of the following key points:

As another season comes to an end 3 of our teams have clinched promotion, 2 with with the reward of representing the club and themselves at the annual league presentation night. The Under 13 Athletic and Under 16 Colts teams both secured runners up spot in their divisions.

The Under 12 Colts team also clinched promotion by taking the third spot in their division

Congratulations to all 3 teams

As usual some players will be thinking of moving on next season but is it for the right reason? perhaps a bit early but it may be worth considering what to do .

Do you stay with Chapeltown with the knowledge that although you may not play every game you will get your fair share of games, or do you go to another team with the chance of spending a lot of time as subsitute. Remember you pay the same subs as everyone else but will you get your fair share of time on the pitch. History and feedback from players who have left shows this is not always the case. We have had players who have left and asked to come back after just half a season.

Looking at our headline article you can see teams can achieve success and its not a one off. We have had quite a few teams do the same over the years.

We have never stood in the way of players who want to play at a higher level and wish all that play and achieve it our best wishes but we cannot be expected to hold places open for those who go to trials for other teams. Please remember that you are registered to Chapeltown Athletic till the 31st  May and it is against league rules to train or be offered places by another club till after this date. There are strict rules and fines for teams and players who break this rule.

Remember the grass is not always greener on the other side

These companies year on year put their hands in their pockets and make sure that teams have smart kits and equipment which in turn keeps our subs down and makes the club more accessible to young people to play football.

Looking forward to the next season we hope the companies above will continue to support the club and you will continue your support to these companies by following their weblinks and recommending their services to family and friends.

If you know anybody who is willing to offer sponsorship to individual teams or the club details of sponsorship packages and my contact details can be found on the sponsorship page.

Nubian Girls v Chapeltown Athletic

New look Chapeltown Athletic got back to winning ways today with a storming second half comeback. After a good start by Chapeltown we were caught on the break twice by Nubian ’s number 7 who was very quick and skilful. We seemed to learn from this and started to defend better and take control of the game in the ten minutes before half time with some lovely passing moves involving Jade, Elle Maddy and Holly. At the end of one of these moves we won a corner and as the ball was cleared it fell to Lucy who smashed a volley over the head of the Nubian goalkeeper for her first ever goal for the club. This goal gave the team a lot of confidence and despite being 2 1 behind at the break the girls were starting to believe they could win the game.
Half time brought 2 changes - Brodie playing her first ever game for the club coming on in defence and Amelia going up front. The performance by the team at the start of the second half was fantastic and it was no surprise when Charlotte won the ball in a crunching tackle and played a perfect through ball to Jade who beat the keeper easily. It was all Chapeltown now and after Jade ran half the length of the pitch she slipped the ball to the unmarked (and thankfully onside) Elle who stroked the ball into the corner of the net. Chapeltown continued to dominate for the rest of the half and could have had 4 or 5 more goals.
After a nasty injury to Jade we had to survive some late pressure but defended fantastically. Then in the 4th minute of injury time a Nubian player broke free but our new goalkeeper Becky made a great block at her feet and the game was won.
Today’s superstars
Becky
 - First game in goal and looked like she’d played there all her life. Her late save won us the game
Holly
 - Dependable as ever with good marking and great passing.
Camille
 - tackled like a tiger and saved us a few times in the first half.
Brodie
 - Very first game and played a big part in making sure we didn’t concede a goal while she was on the pitch.
Isabelle
 - Was challenged at half time to stop their number 7 and wasn’t beaten once in the second half. Back to her best today!
Maddy
 - Brilliant since she came into the side and always looks to pass to a team mate.
Charlotte
 - set up the second goal and worked hard throughout.
Lucy
 - Lots of great tackles and a fantastic goal. Get those boots sorted cos we missed you when you went off.
Elle
 - Never stopped running and supporting the attack. Player of the match.
Jade
- Sensational today. Working hard, beating players and great passing between you and Elle.
Amelia
 - Made a big difference when she came on. Holding the ball up and passing to your team mates. Your best game so far!

Chapeltown Athletic V Socrates

Both teams started this game with only 8 players and once again we were a goal down in the first minute after a breakaway (we must stop giving teams a goal start). Despite this we fought our way back and after a sweeping move, the ball broke to Jade who drew the keeper towards her and placed the ball in the bottom corner. We were then joined by Holly who went into defence allowing Maddie to move into midfield. The girls kept pressing with Maddie winning everything and passing intelligently to her team mates. Great play between Amelia and Jade then led to Jade scoring her second to put us 2 1 up. Then just before half time after a long goal kick from Becky, Jade ran clear and scored her hat trick.
After stressing at half time that we needed to make sure we didn’t concede an early goal, the girls carried on where they left off in the first half with Charlotte producing some great skill and laying the ball off to Elle who smashed the ball into the net. Socrates were still dangerous and great defending by Brodie kept them out. After a great tackle by Holly, Elle took a quick throw which put Jade clean through and she beat the keeper with ease for her 4th goal. More fantastic skill from Charlotte led to her firing a shot on goal which was kept out by a great save from Socrates’ keeper. Good chances followed for Elle Amelia and Jade before another shot from Jade was saved by the keeper but Amelia was following up to break the net with a superb volley to make it 6 1. Although we spent nearly all the second half attacking, the win was built on a solid back line of Becky, Brodie and Holly all marshalled by the superb Isabelle who after the first minute never lost a tackle or a race for the ball all match.
Today’s heroes
Becky
 - Not much to do today but was always in the right place when she needed to be. Great goal kicks meant we were always on the attack.
Holly
 - Solid defending and great passing again. Don’t drink so much before the match next week!
Brodie
 - Really strong tackling and a great attitude meant she was never beaten today. A great addition to our team.
Isabelle
 - Played a massive part in today’s win by making sure we were never caught on the break. The gaffer is back!
Maddy
 - Getting better every week and was involved in nearly every goal we scored today.
Charlotte
 - Never stopped running, tackling and passing. A real captain’s performance today.
Elle
 - Is really benefiting from Maddie’s great passing. The heartbeat of our team.
Jade
- Surprised everyone by playing today after dislocating her shoulder. Scored 4 great goals and could have had 5 more. Player of the match. Amelia - Worked really hard to help create chances for her team mates and scored a deserved goal. Has won her bet so Jade has to wear a dress on presentation night.

Our new Under 8s played their first competive game on Sunday. I have been involved with coaching them since day one and went to watch them play and cheer them on. League results prevent us from publishing scores at this level so I can only say that both players and parents enjoyed a very entertaining game. The games were played in the true spirit of the game and hopefully the same happens for the rest of the season .

On Sunday 17th July 2011 We played in the Beighton Tournament.  We were apprehensive about how we were going to get on as we have only had 1 season together as a team and the results haven't really gone our way!
 
We kicked off at about 10am playing Beighton Falcons in first group match.  We set off with amazing team work and energy and won 6-0, the boys were amazing and played as a strong team. Players who hadn't scored before were now scoring and everyone's moral was up!
 
In our second game we played Whiston where we told the boys that this was the team that we could play in the final, as we had watched them play and win their first game against Maltby who they beat  3-1.  Colts went on the pitch and were amazing again even though the weather wasn't on our side and they battled rain and wind! The score ended up 2-0 to us!  We were on cloud nine!
 
Our third game in the group some of the boys were talking and acting like they were in the final and when they went on the pitch they thought they had already won and were tired, we then got badly beaten 6-0 to Maltby, we hadn't got clue what had happened to the brilliant team that we had seen in the previous 2 games! So gutted!
 
We were still in the final due to our previous great results! We were playing against Maltby in the final, the team that had just beat us 6-0, we had 10 minutes before we went back on the pitch to play in the final.  Maltby thought that they had won the game due to our last performance! I spoke to the boys and told them that if they wanted to win this it was only them that could do it!   They went on the pitch and they were brilliant, the team that had made us all so proud were back and in the first 5 minutes we scored and then 1 minute later Maltby scored, the boys heads never went down and they didnt give up, we went into half time 1-1.  There was about 3 minutes left of the game and Joshua Dixon scored the winner!!!
 
We won the tournament and it showed how much character this team has to have lost 6-0 to Maltby and then to go back on the pitch 10 minutes later and win  2-1 in the final!
 
This is their first trophy win as a team and mine as a Manager and I couldn't be more proud! Well done lads

Sunday 15th May is the date for our main fundraiser

The Annual Sponsored Walk.

Walk starts at 11am from Ecclesfield School Car park

This is a chance for everyone to help raise funds for the club which in turns helps us to try and keep subscriptions as low as possible.

 Half of all monies raised goes to the club but the other half goes back to the individuals who raised it to help play their own subscriptions.

Christine Evans (Club Secretary) and Jane MacDonald (Social Co-ordinator) spent an afternoon at the Paces centre recently.  This visit was primarily to take the Clubs Christmas Raffle donation up to them.  We were met by the Headteacher and his wife with another two staff members and four pupils.

The school has a total of 34 pupils, ranging in age from Nursery up to Y11, and has recently had a huge section of the old High Green premises refurbished, which we were kindly shown around.  Each large, airy classroom contains a small kitchen in one corner enabling pupils to learn the basics of catering for themselves.  Although our donation of £300.00 was greatly appreciated the school is still in need of vital equipment such as Fridges/Freezers and Cookers as well as wall cupboards for storage.  They have now been in operation in the Sheffield area for 10 years, and have made great advances for the children in their care but funds have now dried up.  If anyone within our Club has contacts who may be able to help in any way to finish this much needed refurb just get  in touch with either Christine or Jane and we will pass the information over to Paces.

Paces are the local charity that we as a club decided to support through our fundraising
