Welcome to Derry Hill United (Season 2007-08)

Hello and welcome to members both old and new to the start of our seventh season here at Derry Hill.

Here is your copy of the Club newsletter, "Wildfire". Please read in preparation for the start of your child's activity. Also ensure you look at the training schedule in order to familiarize yourself with your squad's training slot and venue.

Remember DHUFC is manned entirely by volunteers who have kindly given up their time, and directed their energy, to facilitating football development for your child. Please help our officials have an enjoyable and trouble free experience by reading and acting on Squad information, responding to availability requests, and most importantly, ensuring you arrive well before the end of each session to collect your child - our coaches want to get home too, and it's unfair to burden them with the task of looking after children once their session has finished.

I would like to thank all those people who took time out during the summer to help with the cleaning and maintenance of the ground and it's facilities. Your time and effort is much appreciated and I must say Bowood Sports Ground (BSG) appears at the start of the 2007-08 season in the best shape it has been for years. The pitches look great, and the buildings clean and tidy, both inside and out.

Finally, can I ask that our members take pride in their environment and keep BSG clean and tidy. It would be extremely helpful if you can pickup and take home discarded bottles, sock ties and other items which often litter the field after training and matches.

Club activity commences the weekend commencing Saturday 1st September.

I hope you and your child have a really enjoyable and successful season with us here at Derry Hill.
