April Football and Futsal news
BUCS Futsal
This years event in Sheffield was a great success and showed that Futsal had moved on in a very short space of time in HE in both the Men's and the Women's games. Leeds Met won the Women's competition and UWE Hartpury won the Mens.
We are just in the process of looking at potentially setting up a development group from the teams that have been taking part in the competition for both Men and Women. Watch out for this in the summer term
National League Futsal
This year sees UWE Hartpury join Loughborough and Bath in the National League. Bath and UWE are in the Midlands Conference and Loughborough are in the North. It would be great to see one (if not more!) make it to the National Finals in October.
FA Futsal Cup
This year the Futsal cup will see HE at the fore of the competition with Leeds Met and Worcester qualifying by the BUCs competition for the Men and Leeds Met and Loughborough for the Women. It would be hoped that Loughborough, Hartpury and Bath would join them from National or Regional league play offs.
Domestic BUCS Competition
This month sees the Championship Finals at Loftus Road. The Women's Final is at 1230 and is between Leeds Met and Northumbria. The Men's final is between Loughborough and the Champions if last two years UWE Hartpury with kick off at 530. This will see the end of this years Domestic competition.
England Universities programme
This year the squad have already played Leicester City winning 3-1. On Wednesday (8th April) a group of the England players will play Scotland at Sheffield United at 2pm. We also have another group travelling to Guernsey to play the Guernsey FA on the 27th April. The squad will depart from Gatwick on 27th and return on 28th. This fixture has been supported by the
Guernsey FA which we are really grateful.
We also have fixtures confirmed to be played against Crystal Palace and Wigan Athletic between 27th and 12th May. We may look to tie in the Wigan fixture with the BUCS football Development Conference on 7th May.
World University Games
Funding has been agreed and the staff are looking at pulling together a squad to travel to Belgrade this summer.
BUCS Football Development Programme
On the 7th May their will be a BUCS Football Development Programme held at Liverpool FC. We are hoping to also play Wigan Athletic on 6th or 8th May so that people can possible come and see the Rep programme in action.
Trust you are all well
James
