MINI KICKERS BIG AMBITIONS
With over 20 different teams ( starting with their 3 year old ‘ mini kickers ’) Buckhurst Hill Football Club , is more than a football club , it ’ s a centre piece of the local community . The town of Buckhurst Hill has had various clubs over the past 150 years , and an earlier team was once beaten 6-1 by none other than Tottenham Hotspur , but this was back in 1887 ! This gives you some idea as to the long history of football in this area . The current BHFC have been running for nearly 30 years and owns a large amount of ground which greatly helps the development of all its various players across the ages .
The chairman Simon Cornwell , explains more “ We ’ re very much about providing a facility for young boys and girls in the area and we ’ ve achieved great success at youth level , winning
7 county cups in the last 5 years ”. This is due not only to the grounds and facilities , but more importantly to all the qualified volunteer coaches who provide fantastic training for the different teams . Simon continues “ we ’ re all volunteers as a club , but we see ourselves as a pillar of the community , there ’ s nothing better than when people drive past our ground and see boys and girls between 3 and 10 training on a Saturday .
Our aim is to have a situation where everyone who plays for the senior team has come through the ranks at Buckhurst Hill FC that would be fantastic ”. Looking around at the grounds , the facilities , the staff and the players involved , it certainly seems like an ambition that is well on its way to being fulfilled . We wish Buckhurst Hill FC all the best for the new season !
