The Belles U16 team took part in a sponsored Pyjamas & wellies match to help raise much needed funds for our club. During the hour long match there was some very strange shooting, tackling and dribbling going on. Indeed the best dribble of the night took place when one of the Belles got smacked in the nose by one of her own team mates and then continued to bleed all over the pitch for the next twenty minutes!
The U16s team manager thought the players actually played better with wellies on and suggested they turn up for their match on Saturday wearing them!
A very entertaining night for eveyone - well done girls!

The Brayton Belles Open age team have been so successful since starting out just over two years ago, that they are now looking at creating an additional team. The new team will work closely with the existing team and will play at a level to suit all abilities. The new team will play competitive football in the 2010 / 11 season. However to get the team off to a great start friendly matches will be played during the back end of this season and training sessions will start soon. The new team already has a good base of players but requires more to form a strong squad. If you are interested in taking part in this exciting new venture then contact the Belles through this Web site.

Well done to everyone involved.

However it was to be the Belles A teams day with Evie Smyth and Izy Forth bagging two well taken goals and Georgia Southern netting the fifth to send their supporters wild with excitement.
This was Braytons first under 11s league trophy and promises not to be their last.
