Mulbarton U12 football team has been awarded the Most Sporting Team in Norfolk Trophy by the county FA.

This is a great achievement given the amount of teams in all age groups who were also in contention.

Mulbarton FC is one of the oldest village clubs in Norfolk. Today it competes with clubs with much wider catchment areas and the age group 11-12 are really struggling so would like to hear from anyone wanting to join.

Mulbarton offer first-rate football instruction from very experienced, qualified, CRB-checked coaches.

All their teams are constantly monitored by scouts from professional clubs and the team pictured have a few players now attending academies.

There is a Catch 22 situation - the better the players become the more chance they have of being 'spotted', however the more players the club lose the more they have to find to replace them and in the interim the team may have to postpone matches or even be forced to fold.

Children are welcome from any location providing they don't mind travelling to training - from 9.30-11 on Mulbarton common. Mulbarton also need a sponsor for team kit. Call Mike on 01953 789981 or 07850687677 for details.
