Mondays shock defeat by Prestbury FC does not mean that Poynton cannot take second place in the League table, we have a game in hand with Delamere Rangers which if we win would give us the same number of points as Prestbury, but our superior goal difference would mean that we would take runners up position behind Great Moor

There have been a number of recent changes in the running of our team which will take place after this season has finished, this has been done in order to lighten Cammy’s workload, having done a sterling job over recent years, it is only fair that his workload be shared out in order for him get on with managing the team.  All the lads parents have been  e-mailed with who is doing what and all Ian asks is that full support be given to the people who have taken over key roles especially Phil Perry who has taken over as Secretary. ( Well done Phil )
Also mentioned at the meeting last Sunday was the fact that this website was created for the players and their families in order for them to keep up to date with whats going on in the team, It would be nice to have a little more input from both players and parents to make the site a little more interesting and also to let me know whether its worth carrying on with

The team would like to say congratulations and farewell to Barney Makin who has just signed a two year contract with Macclefield  Town Academy. Yesterday evening Barney played his last game with his old team mates and scored the final goal of the match which pulled the Poynton team from the jaws of defeat to a satisfying draw against some giant lads on the Poynton Vipers under 14s team. Well done Barney your mischievous grin will be missed by all.
PS there is a last game photo of Barney on the Gallery page.
***************************************************************************************************
Away fixture Poynton v Congleton meet 12.45pm at the sports club or for those going direct to the ground please be at Back Lane playing fields on Back Lane Congleton for 1.30pm. Grid Reference SJ8464 Sorry we have no Post code for the venue.
***************************************************************************************************
Tuesdays friendly against Poynton Vipers under 14s team resulted in a 3 - 3 draw, the under 13s team ended the first half two goals up after a closely fought battle where their youth and enthusiasm took the game to the older lads and as a result took the lead. The size difference of some of the Vipers players did not seem to bother the younger team and they
showed their lack of respect by skillfully playing the ball around the park.
I think a half time team chat from Nick Warner focused the older lads minds on a possible embarrassing defeat to the hands of the young whippersnappers and as a result they came out with the sole intention to even the score. The scoreline was eventually drawn level with two nice goals from the Vipers forwards, followed shortly after with a lead taking third goal much to the horror of the Poynton parents. However the under 13s didn’t give up and several good chances at goal were a warning of a  determined comeback, with about ten minutes of the game to play a long ball was played over everyone’s heads and received by Barney Makin who quickly brought the game back level at 3 - 3.
Cammys team  had several more good shots at goal which should have put us back in the lead but lady luck was not with us and the game ended a draw. Well played lads you all did yourselves proud,keep on playing like you are doing and we will hopefully better last years league position.
***************************************************************************************************
                                                       Please note Wednesdays training has now been cancelled
Light training Wednesday 5th September at 7 PM Hazel Badge Poynton ( next to Lower Park school)  Cheers Cammy

There will be some changes to the fixtures list in the near future which I will update as soon as I get to know the new listings, the New Mills League game which was scheduled for Sunday 9th September has now been canceled and we will play Vale Juniors FC in a Cheshire Cup Match to be played at an as yet unknown venue at Congleton, It will be an afternoon kick off. Directions and further details will be posted in due course
***************************************************************************************************
We play a friendly against Nick Warners Poynton Vipers under 14 side on Tuesday evening 4th September,please be at Poynton High School playing fields at 6pm at the very latest, this should be an interesting match as there is a years age difference in the sides so I suspect the older lads will have a point to prove against the younger team.
***************************************************************************************************
Sunday 2nd September Poynton beat Cheadle Heath Nomads 5-1 in a pre season friendly,the Poynton team were down ten men due to various commitments which prevented a full turnout,but Cheadle Heath kindly let us borrow one of their players and to the lads credit he played with total commitment to the Poynton side and even scored against his own team
Well done young man and thanks for your assistance !
*************************************************************************************************** Hi everyone, just to let you know that Jake Haresnape has decided to move on to pastures new, Jake has been a part of our team for a long time and has helped us to get where we are today. I would like to thank Jake for his contributions to the team and wish him well. I am sure he will be an asset to his new team and will be be missed by his former team mates. Good Luck Jake !                    Cammy
***************************************************************************************************  It now looks like the Great Moor Tournament has been cancelled, if there is news to the contrary I will let you know.
I have added a link to the Prestbury FC website (its on the miscelaneous page) we play them this season, its nice to   check out the opposition prior to playing them.
*************************************************************************************************** The fixtures for the new season have now been added to the Fixtures page, please note that there are two Wednesday evening matches at the start of the season. These usually kick off at 6:30pm but the exact time will be posted in due course.
***************************************************************************************************
We are booked to play in the Great Moor Tournament which will probably take place on Sunday 2nd of September but the exact date is not yet known so please keep an eye on this page for an update. The Tournament is 15 minutes a game rather than the 7 minutes a game we played at our Umbro Tournament in June.

This season there will be a slight change to the amount of time a game lasts for, we will now play 35 minutes for each half of the game rather than 30 minutes as in the last couple of seasons.
Now is the time for players to start thinking about doing some training in readiness for the new season, not playing competitive football for a few months takes its toll and fitness levels will fall, Cammy has pointed out that this season commitment, attitude and fitness will determine whether a player starts in the first eleven or warms the bench ! so in view of that it might be wise to start some sort of fitness regime in readiness for the new season.
***************************************************************************************************
During the recent registration evening we signed up most of our players from last season as well as the new lads, but unfortunately we have lost one of our goalies, Hodge who has been with us from the start has moved on to pastures new, he along with Matt Nylan who moved to Richmond Rovers just before the end of last season played an important part of Poynton JFC and will be missed by everyone. I wish them every success with their new team and would like to thank them both for their commitment over the years.                                 All the best Cammy   ***************************************************************************************************
Glyn Edwards ( Hodges dad ) is trying to collect half decent football boots which are no longer used, all boots collected will be sent to an orphanage in Africa and no doubt they will be put to good use.If you have any languishing in the loft or garage please dig them out and drop me an e mail via the webadmin link and I will pass on details of where to drop them off.

Well done to the lads on reaching the final at the Umbro tournament last Saturday,the squad had to be split into two teams in order to play the six a side games,each and every squad member played superbly in their respective teams and were a credit to the club in both attitude and ability.
This year we have signed four new players, Ryan Humez, Rob Potter, Ryan Paisley and Sam Wadsworth, they have already settled well into the squad and look very competent players.
I have added a few new photos to the Gallery and Team Photo pages, I have also added the new team members photos and profiles to the Meet the Team page unfortunately I messed up with the settings on my digital camera and the ASA settings were too high for the cloudy day making the photos look grainy and not up to my usual excellent professional quality photographs you are accustomed to (Cough )
I will re do the new lads photos in due course as some of them seem to have grey hair, that only comes later when Cammy’s had a bad day !  (LOL only joking Ian !)
***************************************************************************************************

Welcome to our News page, as in previous years this section will keep you up to date on everything to do with the PJFC under 13s team, please check this page out on a regular basis for match times, directions, game cancellations, training information and anything else that might crop up.
To try and keep the site fresh and worth visiting I would welcome anything that may be newsworthy for instance any upcoming Birthdays the lads would like mentioning, amusing anecdotes, rumours (non libelous of course) or even suggestions to improve the site.
What we desperately need is someone to take on the role as Match Report writer, Cammy has been submitting brief summaries of our matches but it would be nice to have a dedicated “Hack” to take over from him as he is busy enough as it is running the team
