The
Mayfield Panthers Junior Football Club was formed in 2001
by John Slater and Paul Barlow; four years later we now
have a total of 5 teams operating at under 8, 9, 10 and
14 ages including 2 under 9 sides. Over the years the club
has enjoyed some super financial backing from the Football
Foundation, Staffordshire Moorlands Council and even a Lottery
grant, all of which has enabled us to provide equipment
for the children. Two new Mayfield Panthers teams have just
embarked on their first year of competitive football in
the Burton Junior Football League. The Boys - no girls yet
- have all been snapped up from the highly successful Training
school which has operated on Saturday mornings for the last
few years. The success of the club is attributed to the
dedication of parents; and as we go into the new season
our 5 sides are strongly supported by no less than 7 Dad's
who have already successfully been trained and certified
by the FA, with a further 2 taking there FA Grade 1 badges
next year! This is a truly magnificent show of strength
and professionalism by such a new club and one which will
enable us to attain full FA Charter Standard status. Just
think for a moment we have at least 60 children off
the streets, away from their computers and enjoying the
fresh air and without the clubs existence some of these
children might not have competitive football in their lives
and of course the sense of being that brings with it.
