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!
