Please note that the field behind the far goal has been fenced with barbed wire as our neighbour has cattle in that field. He kindly left a gap in the wire fence for us to access the field for any stray balls that get kicked in there - the access point on our side is where the steps are, marked by a traffic cone.
We have determined that it is too dangerous from both a fence and cattle point-of-view for our underage players to go into the field for stray balls and ask that only adults go to collect balls from now on - managers / coaches / supporters / senior players.
We also ask youth managers to let their opposite numbers know of the dangers of the field and fence and suggest that our managers retrieve all stray balls, including those belonging to the opposition.
