Dear Ross Juniors Supporter,

Another season is behind us but the work of the committee doesn't stop. On the contrary. We are working hard behind the scenes, affiliating teams to leagues, signing on players for next season, sorting out new kits, etc. You can support your managers by making sure the registration fees and forms reach them as soon as possible so that they are sure to have enough players for next year.

Our Club Fun Day in May turned out to be a big success which we hope to repeat next year. Thank you to all those who helped on the day, with preparations beforehand and with the equally important tidying up afterwards.

Finally, please note the date for our Club AGM. This will take place on Wednesday 6th July at the Sports Centre at 7:15pm and everybody is welcome to attend.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Your RJFC Committee

New men’s team

We are delighted to announce Marcin Jaworski, a Level 2 FA coach, will be joining us to run a new men’s team in the Saturday Division 2 Herefordshire League for next season beginning September. The team's first training session is on Thursday 23^rd June 7-8:30pm at Ross Sports Centre. We are hopeful that the team will be a blend of players who have recently left our junior section alongside some more experienced older heads. All are welcome to attend the training session, just turn up. If you want to contact Marcin prior to training, his email address is marcinjaworski8@googlemail.com.

The current men’s team will continue to run too, playing in the Gloucestershire League. We strongly believe the town and the club can support 2 men’s teams based in Ross and are keen to see the men’s section of the club grow in line with the success of our other sections.
