But for now here is a sneaky peak of what the Official Club Replica Jersey will look like thanks to our model Liam who got this for his birthday.

Smart Phone Friendly

Nerds never sleep and certainly not whilst we can tinker. So over the last few days the club nerd has been fiddling with the site and we have some improvements that we think you will like.

Mobile phone and tablet friendly

From now on the site is responsive. It will know if you are on a phone or iPad and the display will adjust to fit.

Fixtures on front page
These now tell you what league the fixtures are in so you can see your games immediately. Seniors, Under 16s or shield games the competition name is there.

Logon/register

We would encourage you to interact with the site like articles and posts. Tweet the links and you can do all of that on the site itself.

Now too you can create a logon on the bottom right and leave a comment directly on the site. If you do decided to leave a comment you can log in by creating and account or use your existing Facebook or twitter logins as the site is fully integrated with both services.

Away Game Directions

If you have a look at our Home page on our website you will see all our recent fixtures are displayed.  If this fixture is an away game when you click into the game you will get directions to the Venus.  In some cases we had the actual Co-Ordinates of the venue so the map will be bang on.  So whilst you may still get lost going to Away games you no longer have an excuse

Bellow is an example of an away game where we have the official directions and I had the Co-Ordinates

Child Protection in Sport Awarness Workshop

A big thank you to all our coaches, assistant coaches, committee members and our Child Welfare officer who all attended and successfully completed tonight’s Chid Protection in Sport Awarness Workshop.

Sandra McAuley , Code of Ehtics Tutor, gave an interesting and informative course in Child Welfare to all who attended. This year it will be a legal requirement for all involved in training and coaching children to have completed this course and tonight marked an extremely important step for us in JFC to have our volunteers trained to the highest standard available.

Without our volunteers giving up their free time to be trained we would not be able to run a successful club and for this I hope you can join me in thanking them all for their continued dedication to the club.

Under 8s & 10s New Names and Training Update

This year the Under 8s have chosen for 2013/2014 to be Called “Allstars”   They will be Training Every Tuesday from 0545.    The under 10s have also chosen their name for the year ahead “Hawks” they too will train on a Tuesday from 645.

If possible for both teams could you pay your subs once every four weeks starting from this Tuesday so a payment of €8 to cover training for the next four weeks.  As the training schedule is very tight Phil feel this will give the kids more training time and cut down on the time spent collecting subs.  Please can you reply to Phil to let him know if this is ok
