HEARTS HISTORY 

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW

SACRED HEART AFC  HAD BEEN MANAGED  WITHOUT MUCH JOY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, UNTIL THE TAKE OVER BY NEW CLUB  COACHES PAUL BEVIN AND ROY VERNON.      

PAUL AND ROY ARE OLD FOOTBALLING TEAM MATES, WHOSE FRIENDSHIP GOES BACK 15 YEARS OR MORE, TO WHEN THEY  DONNED THE SAME CLUB SHIRTS, PLAYING FOR WYTHENSHAWE TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB IN THE NINETIES.  PROOF INDEED, THAT LIFETIME FRIENDSHIPS CAN BE FORGED THROUGH THIS MARVELLOUS SPORT OF OURS.

THEY HAVE NOW JOINED FORCES, TO TRY AND BRING SILVERWARE TO THE BARREN FOOTBALL TROPHY CABINET AT THE SACRED HEART PARISH CLUB IN BAGULEY, MANCHESTER.

THE NEW LOOK SACRED HEART AFC WAS FORMED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2006/2007 SEASON WITHIN THE FIRST DIVISION OF THE WYTHENSHAWE AND DISTRICT SUNDAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

A GREAT START

A SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION TO THE ROYAL MAIL, RESULTED IN SACRED HEART AFC BEING GRANTED A BRAND NEW FOOTBALL KIT.  THIS WAS MAINLY DUE TO THE EFFORTS OF COACHING ASSISTANT TOM SMITH; HIMSELF AN EMPLOYEE OF ROYAL MAIL. OUR THANKS TO TOM FOR ALL HIS EFFORTS!

SACRED HEART AFC ARE NOW SPONSORED BY  PAUL HEATHCOTE AT FIRST ACCESS LTD IN MANCHESTER.  ALL AT SACRED HEART AFC ALSO WISH TO THANK  PAUL FOR HIS MUCH APPRECIATED SUPPORT.

GREAT INTENTIONS

AFTER MATCH BUFFETS IN THE CLUBHOUSE, FUND RAISING EVENTS, CHRISTMAS DISCOS AND INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLIES, ARE JUST A FEW OF THE ADDED EXTRAS,  THAT PAUL AND ROY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCED BACK INTO SUNDAY FOOTBALL.

BOTH COACHES FIRMLY BELEIVE THAT THE REINTRODUCTION OF RUNNING A FOOTBALL CLUB IN THIS SEEMINGLY FORGOTTEN MANNER, WILL ONCE AGAIN PROMOTE HIGH TEAM MORALE AND COMRADERIE. THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS ESTABLISHING THE SACRED HEART AFC, AS THE BEST TEAM TO PLAY FOR IN WYTHENSHAWE.

IT IS THE AMBITION OF EVERYONE CONCERNED AT SACRED HEART, TO GAIN PROMOTION TO THE PREMIER DIVISION OF THE WYTHENSHAWE AND DISTRICT FOOTBALL LEAGUE, AND, AT SOME STAGE IN THE FUTURE, REPRESENT THE LEAGUE - IN THE CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS CUP.  THIS OF COURSE, CAN ONLY BE ACHEIVED, BY WINNING THE PREMIER DIVISION OF THE WDSFL OUTRIGHT.
