After forming six months ago, AFRIKIT have collected nearly 1000 shirts and has recently formed a collaboration with national charity Kick4Life, who are the official charity of the England National Team and the Princes Trust. Kick4Life run a FIFA supported football centre in Lesotho, which uses football to tackle the HIV endemic and provide educational opportunities to local children as well as providing fun! This means most of the shirts AFRIKIT collect are sent to the project.
They have batches of
shirts going out every 3-6 months and they can provide videos and
pictures of any collections so local teams can see their kits being
re-used! More detail can be found on the AFRIKIT website -
www.afrikit.co.uk - and the
Kick4Life website - www.kick4life.org.
You can also contact the AFRIKIT Project Manager Jack Hands by email to
jack.hands@afrikit.co.uk
or by mobile to 07900068237 If any Blades Super Draw teams have
any old kits they would like to donate we can arrange a collection date
at one of our Monthly meetings and in doing so help to make a real
difference in the world! 20 August - Handsworth WMC get new recruits but say goodbye to Kieran - Handsworth WMC have made 6 new signings so far, with defender Karl Atkin, 21, and midfielder James Leesley, 19, switching from Handsworth Old Boys. Defender Lee Dolan, 24, has signed from League Champions Woodhouse West End and 18 year old winger Mario Ezposito has signed from Middelwood Rovers. Two more 18 year olds to join are former Sheffield Wednesday academy player Tom Smith who plays left back and 18 year old goalkeeper Shaun Rutkowski who plays for Sheffield Club under 19s. They have lost one of their leading players over the last few seasons though as Kieran Gallagher wont be playing Sunday football due to work and family commitments. Old Harrow v Niagara Royal Oak v Crookes & District The Park v Old Blue Ball Throstles v Fairbank-Rhodes 19 August - Ecclesfield 147 Players Lounge Sponsorship - Ecclesfield 147 will be hoping to mount another challenge for the CBC Premier title after securing a further sponsorship deal with Ecclesfield 147 Players Lounge. After a revamp Ecclesfield 147 now has a new Players Lounge - a sports bar were you can now play snooker and pool, and have poker nights. There will also be live football on numerous big screens with drinks offers during games and there is also a function room available to hire. The Players Lounge owner Kevin Johnstone has provided a new kit bearing the Players Lounge logo and the club would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his continued support. The team's preparations stepped up a gear with a 4-2 victory over former Rotherham League Champions Joker. 19 August - Yew Tree get ready to mount challenge - Macron Cup holders Yew Tree have been preparing for the new season with some new signings and a 100% win record in pre-season friendlies. Six wins, including 5-2 v Old Blue Ball Goals; 11-1 v Rose House; 1-0 v Ecclesfield WMC; 1-0 v Sheffield West End; 5-0 v Oughtibridge Village; 6-2 Niagara. Cup final hero Scott Birch was again amongst the goals, netting eleven times in the six games and instead of fighting to avoid relegation Yew Tree will this time hope to mount a title challenge as well as holding onto the cup. 16 August - September Fixtures & Referees - The fixtures for the first month of the season are now listed. Home teams should confirm their games with their referees and their opponents straightaway. The midweek fixtures for 9 September must be played and clubs need to arrange their own referees for those games - they should use the list of referees shown to find them. Once you have found a referee please send an email to keithsssl@aol.com so that the detail can be added to the website. 16 August - Heeley Crown withdraw - After five years in the League, Heeley Crown has folded and withdrawn from the League. Division 1 will therefore have 11 teams competing in it this season.
12 August - Peter McKennan's Dad - The League was saddened to hear of the sudden death of League Secretary, Peter McKennan's dad. Although in his nineties, Mr McKennan was a regular attender at the League meetings and his unassuming manner was an inspiration to Peter and the rest of us. His absence will be sadly missed by all involved, but our thoughts particularly go to Peter and his family at this time. 3 August - SAVE MONEY - GET YOUR PLAYERS REGISTERED BEFORE 16 AUGUST - Just a reminder to all clubs that you should try to get your players registered with the County FA before 16 August. This is because the charge by the County FA goes up from £2 to £4 per registration for the period 16 August to 30 September, so if you can get them done before 16 August you can save yourselves a great deal of money.
