All Tens Final At Furngate
The highlight of an excellent Furngate Tournament on Saturday August 6th and Sunday August 7th, which saw our U15s make the semi finals and our U12s go out, very unluckily in the group stage, despite being unbeaten, was undoubtedly the performance of our two U10 teams entered, who both came through their seven team groups and semi finals to make it an all Balham Blazers Final. The normal Colts and Eagles squads were mixed up for this tournament to give the players experience of playing competitively with players they normally only train with. It certainly didn't hinder their performance as both squads played exceptionally throughout. There had to be a winner at the end of the day and it was the team of Sam Arbuckle, Ellis Griffiths-Phipps, Sebastian Fallowfield, Fred Fordham, Matthew McDowell, Findlay O'Brien and Jack Tomkins who won the cup scoring three goals in extra time after the final had initially finished 2-2. The gallant Runners Up were: Callum Close, Gus Colfer, Danny Given, Max Oliver-Matthew, Tom Stephens, Tane Stappard and Marshall Travers-Elwin. The real winner however, where the final, not for the first time, featured two teams from Balham Blazers FC, was Balham Blazers FC.

Resident Club Physiotherapist
We are delighted, after a long search initiated by Kate Sheehy at Richmond Physiotherapy, to who we owe many thanks, to have on board a resident Balham Blazers F.C. Chartered Physiotherapist, Darren Gregoire.
Upon graduation, Darren, originally from Liverpool, but an Evertonian, was appointed as a physiotherapist at Vauxhall Motors F.C. in the Blue Square Conference. Having taken responsibility for the reserve team, Darren was quickly put in charge of both first and reserve team affairs and became a well integrated member of the club.
