Sister Club: Pirelli FC to attend Durham WFC v’s Man Utd

Part of being an Official Sister Club to Durham WFC, each club is invited to a game, as guests of the Club, where players are able to get closer to the action by being club mascots and ball girls during the game. This year, we have been allocated the Manchester United WFC on Sunday the 9th of December.

The Pirelli FC players meeting the Durham WFC first team

This season, we will be taking our U8’s Girls and U12 Girls teams to attend the match where they will no doubt enjoy an entertaining match between two undefeated sides so far this season. Man United are still yet to concede a goal this season. The two teams recently shared the points in a thrilling draw at Leigh Sports Village with Durham’s Hannah Reid saving a United penalty to keep the scores level.

As well as the internationals playing for the home side, the visitors will be fielding several capped England players, two who are in Phil Neville’s current England squad to face Australia at Fulham’s Craven Cottage.

Last season, the players and parents from out girls section headed across The Pennines to watch Tottenham Hotspurs to kick off the season and then attend the soccer festival and our Sister Club day against Aston Villa on the same day. Unfortunately, the later was postponed due to the bad weather and we didn’t get our chance to lead the players out onto the field. Durham WFC more than made up for it by bringing the first team players to meet the Pirelli FC players and to get a chance for an autograph and a selfie.

We will be providing further details of our trip over to Durham WFC at the individual training sessions over the coming weeks.

For more information about the Sister Club programme, please take a look at the Durham WFC website.

Information for new FA Charter Standard Clubs

Launched in 2001, The FA Charter Standard Programme supported by McDonald’s is the FA’s accreditation scheme for grassroots clubs and leagues.
Its goal is to raise standards in grassroots football, support the development of clubs and leagues, recognising and rewarding them for their commitment and achievements.

With this in mind, FA Charter Standard accreditation is awarded to clubs and leagues rigorously adjudged to be well-run and sustainable – and which prioritise child protection, quality coaching and implementation of the Respect programme.

There are three levels of FA Charter Standard Awards for clubs:

  • FA Charter Standard Club for youth and adult clubs: the entry-level accreditation
  • FA Charter Standard Development Club: for clubs clearly enhancing the quality and scope of their football offering
  • FA Charter Standard Community Club: acknowledging the most advanced level of club development and football provision.
  • For clubs who have FA Charter Standard accreditation, the challenge is to progress to the next level or to maintain that level.

For clubs without FA Charter Standard status, the scheme provides aspirational points on its development journey.
