Bleak Hill Rovers JFC

Bleak Hill Rovers JFC is a junior football club in St Helens, Merseyside. It is one of the largest in St Helens if not the largest and is also one of the longest reigning junior football clubs.

History

Formed in 1977 originally to take part in a 5-a-side competition at Ruskin Drive Park, St Helens. The lads who competed in the tournament enjoyed it so much that they decided to form a team to play regular league football on a weekly basis. So for the 1977/78 season the first Bleak Hill Rovers side joined the under 11s 11-a-side St Helens JOL. For the first two seasons the team played at Bleak Hill Primary School field, St Helens. After these two years the side moved to play its football on the Ecclesfield playing fields in Eccleston, St Helens.

2007-2008 Season

For the 2007-2008 season the club will have many age groups playing in a variety of leagues. The under 7s, 8s, 9s & 10s mixed teams will play in the Rainhill & St. Helens Mini-Soccer League. The boys under 11s will play in the Rainhill youth league and the boys under 12s, 13s, 14s, 15s and 16s will play in the Wigan and District youth football league. The girls U10s, U12s, U14s & U16s play in the Liverpool County FA Girls League. Also the boys under 17s and 18s play in the South Lancs league.

The Bleak Hill boys Under 16s are currently top of the table (february 6th 2008) but suffered a debilitating loss at the weekend to Springview, whom the under 16s had already knocked out of the cup. These two top of the table giants will meet again later in the season with the winner of the fixture likely to go on to the league title.
