Routledge and Young sponsor Burnbridge Wanderers Under 12's

Routledge and Young sponsor Burnbridge Wanderers junior under 12's football team and this week a shirt and signed picture from the team went up in the board room.

Burnbridge Wanderers Junior Football Club was founded in 1999.

The club is run on a voluntarily basis but is assisted by individuals, local and national businesses who have provided sponsorship for the teams to supply new items such as kit, training aids and goals.  Burnbridge Wanderers & Warriors JFC is affiliated to the Somerset Football Association and abides by the rules and constitution of this body.

BWJFC has 12 coaches who train age groups from the Under 6's to Under 16's, all of their coaches hold junior management positions, child protection certification, first aid and FA coaching accreditation as a minimum.

With a home at the BASC ground in Burnham-on-Sea and additional ground at West Huntspill, Burnbridge Wanderers & Warriors JFC, is the face of football in Somerset.

The under 12's are currently 4th out of 8 teams this season and Routledge and Young shopfitters wish them all the best of luck for the rest of the season.

Good Luck Boys!!!
