@EssexCountyFA @TheVanaramaNL Wow what a great send off for the League and well done to everyone that has made it happen

Congratulations to #Essex's #GrassrootsFootball League of the Year winners for 2024… the @SBDFCL! This award was presented (virtually) by Mark Ives (General Manager, @TheVanaramaNL): youtu.be/2-BUpDm2ewQ

We can then start the plannning for the fitting send off that the League deserves. If anyone knows of previous committee members that would like to attend the event (date TBC) please ask them to email me Sheryl.sbfc@gmail.com so that we can extend an invite.

It will be an occasion tinged with sadness as after 104 years we are having to dissolute the League but we know for the clubs and their future development this is most definitely the right decision. I look forward to seeing you all at the AGM 28.06.24

The final AGM of the @SBDFCL is being held on Friday 28th June 2024, 7:30pm at the Len Forge Centre, Main Hall. By that time you should all have been accepted into the constitution of the the @eofl and looking forward to a new start for season 24/25.
