When young lads reach the age of 18 it is often difficult for them to find a club to continue their football with, sadly many give up playing and a lot of talent is lost.

Over the past number of years a steady flow of good young players have joined Pioneer and we are hoping to continue this in the seasons ahead.

I am writing to you as club officials to see, if there are in your view, any players who would be looking for a club to play for next season.

 

As part of an effort to improve the standard of the teams and the club as a whole, Pioneer F.C hope to have their first team playing in the Watford Sunday League next season.

Rather than removing one of it’s sides from the Chesham Sunday League the club is aiming at retaining the existing two sides as well, one in the Premier and another in the 1 st Division.

To enable this to run effectively we as a club are looking to recruit young players who have reached the age of 18 and can no longer play in Youth football.

There will be opportunities for lads to move through the teams and play for the first team in the WSL if they have the ability and attitude to do well.

We cannot offer the facilities of a senior Saturday club but the club operates with a full committee and has been in existence since 1931.

At one stage in the clubs history 7 teams took the field each Saturday, for the past number of seasons it has been just the 1 st team and reserves.

Pioneer F.C play in the national FA Sunday Cup and reached the 3 rd round this year, losing 2-1 at Kidderminster. The final for this competition is played at Anfield (Liverpool F.C) in May.

If there are any players who you feel may like to be involved with Pioneer’s future then please could you write to the above address or telephone me on 07919 337945 or email steve_b53@btopenworld.com

Or Nick Cox on e mail nick.cox13@btopenworld.com.

We will be holding Trial matches early next season, training is on Thursday’s each week at St Clement Danes School, Chorleywood.

Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully

Steve Bates (on behalf of Pioneer F.C Committee)
