HRVDSFA

A huge thank you to the parents, players, teachers and coaches from @BarnsleyFa for their spirit and generosity yesterday. The boys were outstanding in the sun and only a hairline in it with the final result. We look forward to playing you again next season.

What a day. What a lesson in camaraderie and togetherness. What a lesson in self-belief. The 3rd national finalists in a stellar year. 350+ crowd at @ClitheroeFC, a great atmosphere and two good sides slugging it out. Very little to separate but HRV edged it! Very proud.

All eyes turn to @ClitheroeFC on Saturday as the U14s host Barnsley in the @SchoolsFootball semi final. Everybody welcome and warmly encouraged to support the lads from our area... a massive achievement already and a spectacle of a game to enjoy!

End of the road in @SchoolsFootball for our U12 and U13 Boys teams at the quarter final stage. Congratulations to @SheffieldSFA and Doncaster. Attention now turns to 21st March when the Under 14s host Barnsley at @ClitheroeFC in their semi-final!

Our National Finalists continues their great season with a 5-2 win at @Everton Finch Farm academy, against Liverpool. Battrick, Pountain, @StChrisCEHigh, Eccles and Dominik @SarchsPTFA and Marsh @CRGSPE. North West Cup.

Another huge weekend of football ahead. U12s attempt to be our 2nd @SchoolsFootball semi finalists (@Rovers 1.00) whilst the U13s travel to Doncaster in the Plate. Elsewhere the U11s play a last group game, hoping to secure a top 4 position & U14s are at @LFC in the NW League.

The last team from Lancashire to play in the @SchoolsFootball final. Preston 1-1 West Ham at Upton Park. Can you spot 13 year old sub Tom Finney? @PrestonCityTeam @LancashireSFA @pnefc @Rovers @WestHam @HyndburnCouncil @RibbleValleyBC 90 years later, we relish the challenge!

A huge well done to Oliver M in Year 9, who has been representing St Christopher’s as part of the Hyndburn & Ribble Valley Under 14s Boys District Team. ⚽👏 The team secured a fantastic 1–0 victory in their quarter-final this weekend & progress to the semi-finals 💪🔥

@SARCHSofficial @sarchsPEDEPT - some of your stars from yesterday's @SchoolsFootball National Semi Final. Eccles and Dominik in superb form!

@ribbweb - 3 of your stars from yesterday's @SchoolsFootball semi final for the Under 15s. Yabantu, Latham and Brown; the latter amongst the goals!

We've stitched this lad up in the original post. Marsh from @CRGSPE with a brace today. Outstanding forward play! Huge thanks to Tony Kirk for the photos!

Wow! Two national finals in two years. First time the boys have done it... ever. First time a team from Lancashire have made the national final in 90 years. Truly emphatic today. Awesome from @academy_brfc again. Battrick, Pountain, Kerrigan and Brown with the goals! Roll on May!

Awesome achievement from the U15 Girls in the @SchoolsFootball National Plate. 4-1 winners against Rotherham with outstanding displays from both full-backs tonight! A first half with fire, energy and some quality football. Great effort from the visitors and safe travels home!

A huge weekend of @SchoolsFootball action starting with Rotherham Vs U15Gs on Friday night at @accrosscollege. On Saturday the 2nd semi final between U15Bs and @WirralSchoolsFA at @academy_brfc. And if you want a day out look no further than Harrogate for the U14 quarter final!

Great effort from the 13s against @ftfc, Blackpool & Chester on Friday. Close tight games on the Fylde coast! Hard luck to the 12s beaten comprehensively by @seftonsfa in the NW Cup. Another fantastic morning for the 14s beating @SouthRibbleSFA 4-2. Goals from Cronshaw & Palich

Remembering an @BDSFA1 legend: Jimmy Greaves captained Dagenham Schools League & Cup winners South Wood Lane Primary in 1951, and represented Dagenham Schoolboys at the same time that Bobby Moore was captaining Barking, just a couple of miles down the road.
