Deighton Juniors football players have been busy at SAINSBURYS SHOREHEAD STORE helping shoppers to pack their bags on a Friday evening. They raised a very creditable £320.00 pounds and thanks are due to all those who took part and Maddy who organised it. Another bag packing is due to take place at MORRISONS STORE AT HECKMONDWIKE early in December. We hope that many of our players will turn out again to raise much needed funds for our Club. We need at least £1000.00 per month top just keep our Club afloat. We thank SAINSBURY’ and MORRISON’S for their support. We also get support from BATLEYS CASH AND CARRY and a nember of other sponsors from time to time. If you know of anyone who would be willing to help us please ask them to contact Maddy on 01484 414936.

We have registered 2 teams to play in Division 4 and Division 4 Reserves. This means that we now have a pathway from Junior level right through to Open Age. Our juniors will be encouraged to aspire to playing at senior level. This fits in with our policy of encouraging members of our Community, not only to keep fit, but to experience the satisfaction that comes from participating in Sport.

Diva Fever dance group continued a very busy Summer schedule and were recently asked to perform at the Deighton Carnival, Carnival of CULTURES in Bradford, Bradley Park Family Fun Day and several other events.
Attracting cheers and applause from those present, this was a great experience for the Diva Fever dance group and gave them some great exposure to promote the dance sessions. All the hard work is paying off!
The group is open to invitations to perform as part of any community initiative..
Diva Fever Dance class sessions run on a Tuesday’s & Thursday’s 4.30-5.30pm at the Deighton Sports Arena. Each session costs £2.00.
For the last 10 years we have been fortunate to obtain funding from Kirklees Council’s – Integrated Young People’s Support Service (IYSS) Without this funding we would not be able to continue with our regular Holiday Playschemes.
Our playschemes have contiuned to run and grow: this year 2016 we had playschemes at Feb Half Term, Easter, Springbank Half Term and we will holding one October Hal term. Our playschemes continue to gain lots of new members as well as many returning faces, causing numbers ranging over the sessions to 50-70 young people every week.
Various activities continued to take place from sports in the Hall to arts & crafts in the training room. This year we took advantage of good weather, and started Football Development Camps a new favourite for the young people out on the playing fields. Football takes place in the morning right through to the afternoon.
MANY THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS – IYSS
On Thursday 10th October 2013 we were invited to attend the award ceremony at the Spa Hall in Bridlington at which the Duke of York presented his award to 40 Yorkshire organisations which serve the community. This was a very interesting experience and there were many very impressive organisations represented. Deighton Into Sport is very proud to have received this award.
Deighton Juniors Football Club, (a Club which is part of the Deighton Into Sport Project), is delighted to announce that Local firm Local Services 2 You, one of Ashbrow Ward most familiar brands, will be an official partner of the Club, for the Huddersfield & District RCD League Competition for season 2016/17.
In a significant deal, the Local Services 2 You branding will feature prominently with our Deighton Juniors Football Club, on the front of our (Unders 8’s Junior Team’ playing jerseys)
The deal with this Locally acclaimed brand is the latest development in a strategy which will see a number of official community partners align alongside each other as sponsors.
It builds on Local Services 2 You association with the Local Community of Deighton and surrounding neighbourhoods.
We are delighted to be able to continue our relationship with Local Services 2 You as an official partner of our Club and we are looking forward to working with them over the course of the next few months in what is already shaping up to be an exciting future for Deighton Juniors Football Club.
Deighton Juniors Football Club’s ability to attract brands such as Local Services 2 You is a testament to the appeal of this growing Football Club and we have no doubt that our partners will benefit from the excitement generated by all involved with our Club.
At the beginning of a very special new year, Olympic Year 2016, we are looking forward to working very closely with the Pennine Schools Sports Partnership and to support delivery of various sports activities at both our new School, the North Huddersfield Trust School in Fartown, and our new Community Centre, Northfield Hall, situated in the Brackenhall/Ferndale neighbourhood.
We are looking forward to this new challenge which will enable us to widen our opportunities to introduce young people to sports and fitness activities. We have a fine team of coaches who are working with local young people and we believe that they are having a genuine impact by not only introducing young people to sport, but also by helping them to become aware of the wider Community and to realise the importance of Teamwork, not just in Sport, but in life.
The new School has already got off to a splendid start, and many of our young people will benefit from the positive work of Dr A. Williams and his Staff. We believe that there will be many benefits for our community from our partnership working. We also believe that we can use our experience to really get Northfield Hall up and running as a Community facility which is providing a wide reange of opportunities for people of all ages. The Brackenhall Trust is to be congratulated on all that they have achieved and we look forward to working with them in the new Centre.
