SBMSC is pleased to announce its plan to return to playing mini soccer fixtures.

Under 7 to Under 10 age groups will play all the fixtures that were originally being scheduled to be played from 10th January 2021 and these fixtures will now start on 11th April 2021.

The Under 11 and Under 12 age groups will play all fixtures that were originally due to be played from 10th January 2021. These will start on 11th April 2021 culminating in the finals which are due to be played towards the end of June 2021.

We are sorry to confirm suspension of fixtures and training in order to follow the new national COVID-19 restrictions and lockdown announced on 4th January 2020. With the rising number of cases it is important everyone stays safe.

In line with the nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, SBMSC has postponed fixtures until after 2nd December. This is with immediate effect, so fixtures are not to be played tomorrow, 8th November.

The FA and Berks and Bucks FA have also stated club training sessions are to be suspended during this period.

Simeon played for Chinnor Youth in the South Bucks Mini Soccer Conference so we ask that as a mark of respect all teams hold one minute silence before the start of matches this Sunday. Below is a copy of a letter from our Chairman.

Letter to Josh Powell, his young daughter, their friends, and Chinnor Football Club

On behalf of the South Bucks Mini Soccer Conference I would like to send our deepest condolences on the shocking and tragic loss of Zoe, Phoebe, Simeon, and Amelia. We consider our league to be a family and the loss of one affects us all. I know Simeon will be greatly missed by not only all at Chinnor Football Club, but to all of us who love the game of football and play in our league.

We will be asking all the clubs in our league to observe a moment of silence before all matches this weekend. I would like Josh to know we are all holding your family all in our hearts and thoughts.

Sincerely

Carter Barker

Chairman South Bucks Mini Soccer Conference
