CS clubs' Oakwell reward
Monday, 29 November 2004.
The Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA proudly presented five clubs from across the region with the prestigious Charter Standard award, in front of almost 9,000 fans at Oakwell for the England U19’s match against France (England 1-0 France).
Congratulations to Mappelwell, Dearne & District, Wickersley, Worksop and Heeley Boys for achieving the award.
Marc Birkett, football development officer for the County FA who works closely with the clubs and schools to achieve this award joined Tina Stringer from the Charter Standard committee to present the awards.
The Charter Standard Award provides clubs with a kite-mark to promote their work in football development.
Marc Birkett, Football Club Development Officer for Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA said:
"By achieving Charter Standard status, parents and children will know that a club has been recognised by The Football Association for providing a safe and quality football provision within the community."
