Crosspool Juniors is looking for a new goalkeeper to join the U9s team for the season 2013-14.
From September they will play most Sunday mornings through until March/April 2014. Our home ground is at Coldwell Lane. Away fixtures can be as far away as Rotherham.
If you think that your son would be interested in joining the team then please drop jrwales@gmail.com an email with name, school and any experience they may already have.
They should currently be in Y3, moving up to Y4 in September and should not be linked to any other club.

The full programme has been confirmed for this year’s Crosspool Festival 2013, which runs 28 June-7 July.
There are events old and new — so please join in, try something new, and come together with neighbours and friends to celebrate and have fun. There should be something here for everyone to enjoy.
Crosspool Women’s Institute celebrated its first anniversary in March. In the most recent Crosspool Clarion, secretary Liz Manson reported on the first twelve months and looked ahead to what the future holds.
We’re delighted to have come this far. We are particularly pleased that we have maintained both evening and afternoon groups – apparently this is unique in the WI world! So far we have established several smaller interest groups which include singing, knitting and crochet, book and theatre.
We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all who have helped us along the way, either as a member, a visitor, as a customer at one of our fundraising events and local businesses who have donated prizes.
In particular we would like to say a special thank you to the Crosspool Clarion – your coverage of our activities, has encouraged local women, of all ages, to come and join us.
The events we have planned for the next few months include talks about diamonds from the CEO of Benz & Green and the life of Lady Jane Grey in June.
In July we have talks about Teenage Cancer Trust, and the work of WI in Rumania. Visitors always get a warm welcome!
We adopted Care in Crosspool as our local charity for 2012 and hope to raise further funds for other local charities this year. We would welcome suggestions from readers.
Residents living in the vicinity of Tapton Hill Road and Tapton Bank have expressed their concerns about the recent increase in vehicles parking outside their properties, adding further congestion at school times.
Sheffield West Delivery Office has taken delivery of 26 new vehicles which now occupy their onsite car park, meaning the vehicles which previously parked there are now parking in the surrounding streets.
One resident has contacted the site manager to raise her concerns and other residents brought up the matter with local councillors at a recent Crosspool Forum open meeting.
Members of the Forum also met with management at the delivery office on Wednesday 1 May and the Post Office will be carrying out a feasibility study to look at options available to try and improve the onsite parking within the site.
Keep an eye out for these I Love Crosspool mugs (£4) and tote bags (£3) which will be available to buy once again at various community events this summer.
The next chance to get your hands on them will be at the car boot sale on Saturday 8 June, starting at 8am. Pitches are still available: book yours now for £6 by calling 07713 687 955 or emailing crosspoolforum@fsmail.net. Money made by from selling pitches will raise funds for Crosspool Forum. All profits you make from your own sales are yours to keep.
The refurbished water play area will be for children of all ages and is designed to be more accessible and inclusive. The water circulation system will be improved and new features such as water jets and sprays will be installed.
If you have any questions about the project, contact the council’s Parks and Countryside Service on 0114 250 0500 or parksandcountryside@sheffield.gov.uk.

Messy Mangoes starts on 3 June at Lounge @ Crosspool
A Crosspool club for toddlers who like to get messy – and parents who dare to let them – starts in June.
Messy Mangoes takes place at Lounge @ Crosspool on Mondays from 3 June between 1.30 and 2.30pm and lasts for six weeks.
Organiser Kate Hill, Crosspool Mum of two and founder of www.funmefit.com explained: “As a mum and a bit of a play promoter, I think it’s so important to let children get messy, have fun and socialise in a relaxed setting. The fact that we’ll be playing with fruit and vegetables, tasting them along the way is obviously a healthy twist! Sure it’ll be great fun for us mums too at Paula’s cafe!”
It’s for the under 4s and baby siblings are obviously free. A drink plus healthy snacks for toddlers are provided. It’s £3.50 per session per toddler and they’ll receive a little certificate and achievement folder at the end.
If you’re interested then book soon via messymangos@gmail.com or 07854 682323 as half the 10 places have been already taken.
