OPERATION BRAVEHEART FOOTBALL TEAMS GETS OFF THE GROUND
Date added: Sunday 29th November 2009
A new venture into the world of sport has now been set up with the launch of our new football team, and I hope for good things to come in the months ahead.
It all came about after mentioning to Dan's brothers that I would love to have my own football team to be able to support our servicemen. So thanks initially to Josh Coffey the team is getting off the ground and up to speed soon.
Primarily my goal (excuse the pun) is to hold charity matches and friendlies as a means to not only boost the support for our servicemen but to also give the players good grounding in working together as a team. The players are aged between 16 and 22 and are very keen to play football, but it will for them be hard work if tey are to reach my expectations as a proper, dedicated football team worthy of supporting our bravehearts and hero's.
They will be ambassadors in the football world and as ambassadors they have to uphold some very special values, namely RESPECT, HONOR AND INTEGRITY for that is the very least I expect to be given for our servicemen and women.
We will be playing matches locally but my sights are set far, far higher in that I wish to get the team into playing matches much further afield and to even have the opportunity to play youth teams from premier and first division teams.
A dream you might say, but if you pray hard enough dreams can often come true, and how I want this dream to become reality.
To make this dream come true I need sponsors, and more players are welcome to come and train with us so we can have a wide selection to choose from for first team players and a second reserve team.
Company sponsors are going to be vital if we are to get out there, play our hearts out to raise support for our lads and lassies. I need sponsors for kit and to be able to get the transport to get the team around, which inevitable requires a minibus, that is going to be a major priority if we are going to achieve our goal.
If anyone could offer some help to Operation Braveheart please get in touch with me as with your support we could do great things.
