@OfficialBBDFL We have some of the very best league volunteers in the Country who really do put the game first.

Please continue to support them.

I have no doubt they will continue to drive the ethos of the BBDFL whose foundations are built on no fines, supporting clubs and growing the game

I first joined the @OfficialBBDFL in 2001 when it was called the Bolton, Bury and District Mini Soccer League with 110 teams playing 7v7 football from U7s to U10s.

This is my 25th and last season and we now have 1035 teams, @ 14000 players and @ 2500 coaches

Both referees started on the Bolton, Bury and District Football League during a period when leagues could organise and run their own course's, run mentorship programmes and seek to move young referees onto Adult leagues as soon as ready.

All the very best Mike and Matty.

The league was formed in 1996 as the Bolton, Bury and District Mini Soccer League providing 7v7 football for U7s to U10s.

A core value is game growth with low fees & a strict NO FINES policy.

We have NEVER issued a fine in our 29yr history.

Support volunteers, dont fine them!

Sadly during our cup finals last night at BWFC Academy some individuals forced open a storage cabin and stole a number of match balls.

If anyone knows the individuals in the video's please let us know so we can ensure they are dealt with appropriately by the authorities.
