East Boldre’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations - A Great Success
Despite the gloomy weather forecast, East Boldre's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations went off without a hitch and, more importantly, without a drop of rain.
A great time was had by all. Many thanks to Sue Vaughn for managing the event, the Turfcutters which supplied the bar and to all those who worked hard to make this a memorable day.

East Boldre Youth Teams
East Boldre Football Club has started a new Under 13 football team and an Under 10 team. To get things going, a fun match was held on June 3rd kicking off at 2.00pm for current school years 4, 5,and 6.
The date was chosen to coincide with East Boldre’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the match was followed by children’s races and a tug of war. See the photos on page 2 of this news panel.
Following FA Rules, the U13 team is a boys only team but the U10 team will be mixed. This season, the U10s will be mainly training but, hopefully they will be able to play in a few friendly matches.
The boys U13s, known as the East Boldre Bulldogs, play in the Southampton Tyro League every
Sunday Lunchtime and have to play at Boldre because East Boldre's pitch is too big. They won’t play at East Boldre until they get to U15s.
Now the playing season has started, they won their first match 11-1. Well done, Bulldogs.
