14 Boys and Girls from Winwick Athletic FC were delighted to be invited to assist at the International Learning Disability European Championship match between Sweden and Germany at Curzon-Ashton Stadium, Ashton-under-Lyne and were entertained by some fantastic football. They also enjoyed a glorious sunny afternoon being looked after admirably by Michelle and Steph from Cheshire FA. The boys and girls from Winwick helped to lead the two teams onto the field of play and were photographed alongside their Player during the respective National Anthems. Commemorative T-Shirts and Medals were the reward for the hard work of the children who were also rewarded with compliments on their fantastic behaviour, so parents can all be proud that their children represented Winwick and themselves admirably.

Well done to the Under 9A team who won this weekends Woolston Under 9 tournament. The boys played some great football in the sunshine. They were runners up in their group winning 2 and drawing 3 games. After winning their quarter and semi finals they played Appleton in a tense final - winning 2-0 with late goals from Adam and Harry. Well done boys.

We held a Level 2 taster session "coach the coaches" clinic 16th June. Jason Gouk and Gary Biddle both currently doing their Level 2 FA course put some of the Winwick managers and coaches through their paces covering Passing & Support and also defending.

The FA have spent the last 12 months asking many people from all levels of the game what they want from The FA, and the Vision reflects the feedback they have received.

Thanks to those coaches and parents who've sent in match reports, photos and information about their teams at WAFC. Keep them coming- it all helps to keep the site updated and more interesting for visitors.
