We would like to invite you to our Annual August Bank Holiday Summer Football Tournament, to be held at our home ground, on Bispham Gala Field, address details above.

This is the third year where we have been able to host the tournament back at our home ground following a significant investment in the drainage facilities. With our improved pitches and amenities, and our dedicated Tournament Committee, our 2010 tournament promises to be bigger and better than ever.

The age groups used in our tournament will be the age groups for the 2010/2011 season, i.e. if your team is currently competing in the Under 9 age group, they will enter the Under 10 competition in this tournament.

On Saturday 28th August, the Under 8’s and 10’s will play 7-A-Side mini soccer, whilst the Under 12’s will play 11-A-Side.

On Sunday 29th August, the Under 7’s and 9’s will play 7-A-Side mini soccer, with the Under 11’s playing 11-A-Side.

On Bank Holiday Monday 30th August, there will be an additional competition for the Under 11’s with an LFA backed pilot 9-A-Side competition taking place, whilst we introduce 6-A-Side football for the older age groups – Under 13’s, Under 14’s and Under 15’s competitions taking place.

There will be a limit on the number of entries per age group, so we would urge you to ensure your application is submitted to us early, so that your place can be confirmed. Last year we were booked up at most age groups well in advance of our tournament.

Entry fees are £35 per team or you can enter two teams into the same age group competition for £60 (cheques to be made payable to “BJFF”). The application form distributed with this invitation contains further information on the structure of the tournament and an entry form.

We will have qualified officials to officiate in ALL competitive games and would like to remind you that each team is responsible for all its players, managers and spectators. Any disputes will be settled by the Tournament Coordinator.

The rules for each of the age group tournaments are displayed on our website, and will as closely as possible follow the FA rules in place covering 6-A-Side, 7-A-Side, 9-A-Side and 11-A-Side football.

If you are interested in entering, please complete and return your entry form, and send to our Tournament Coordinator, Andrew Griffiths, either by e-mail or in the post. E-mail applications received without the entry fee will be held for a maximum of 14 days. On receipt of your entry form and entry fee, Andrew will be in touch to confirm your place in the tournament. The deadline for applications is Friday 23rd July 2010.

Should you have any further queries or if you would like to confirm your interest to attend the tournament, please do not hesitate to contact Andrew via e-mail or mobile.
