Boldmere Falcons vice chairman Steve Gascoyne commented: “We are very grateful to UKSE for sponsoring our Under 14s team. 

“Funding from local businesses and organisations goes a long way towards keeping the club running so that children can participate in sport and keep fit and active. 

“Our 50th anniversary is a great landmark for the club that we are looking forward to celebrating.” 

Having been formed in 1974, Boldmere Falcons will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this spring. The club will be holding a festival fun weekend on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May involving football matches, food stalls, games and evening entertainment.
