The Club are actively supporting the FA Respect campaign. You may have noticed the Don't X The Line Barriers at the Fun Day which will be in place at all our home Mini Soccer games. We ask that everyone stays behind the barriers; we also ask that no one stands behind or next to the goal. This is a League and FA requirement, - the goalkeeper will do just fine on his/her own!!!

All our managers will hand his opposite number a Zero Tolerance Card details of which are in the Downloads section. We ask that everyone follows the guidelines on the Card and makes football at Oakworth an enjoyable experiece for all players and parents.

During the Bank Holiday weekend.  Oakworth Juniors Under 8's (Hornets & Wasps) took part in the Easter & Spring Football festival at Butlins, Skegness.  There were over 250 teams competing at different age groups from Under 7 to Under 14's.  The competition was over 3 days and based on a league basis.  Hornets got of to a flying start with a storming 10 - 0 victory over Pendle Forest, then added another win and an unfortunate draw (after hitting the wood work several times).  Wasps started the day against Farsley Celtic who took some lucky advantage when Goalkeeper Thomas Horn took a nasty knock and ended up losing 3-0.  They day did not get any better as a couple of unlucky defeats against well organised teams.  Sunday saw the Hornets strengthen there grip near the top of the table with a win and a narrow defeat.  The Wasps got of the mark with a fantastic win, a draw.  Then came the final day (Monday).  At the Start of the day Hornets were sitting in second, 1 point behind leaders Edenthorpe.  The day started well with Hornets bagging a 5-0 win and the top side Edenthorpe only managing a draw.  This put Hornets in top spot with one game to go.  The final Match came aginst Eckington Boys.  Knowing that a win would clinch the trophy, Colin Storton went through Labour about ten times in 30 minutes.  Finally the game kicked off and after a nail biting match, Hornets were victorious 1-0 and lifted the trophy as shown.  Wasps continued improving there form on day two and came in with 2 excellent results of a win and draw, to finish a very creditable 5th in there league.  Many thanks to all parents who took time out to attend a fantastic weekend.  Pictures a available to veiw on the gallery.

To help improve touchline behaviour at junior and youth football matches, the FA have introduced "Soccer Parent", a free online course available to eveyone who registers with the FA.

SoccerParent is designed with coaches and parents in mind to provide guidance on specific areas that focus on the key issue's involved when a child joins a football team. The short course is fun and informative and helps parents understand specific areas such as child welfare and attitudes.
