Dinnington Town JFC Disbility

Welcome -Dinnington Town JFC Disability!                           

There‘ll be a new team with some familiar faces at Concord Sports Centre this Sunday, as Dinnington Town JFC’s Disability team make their competitive debut in the South Yorkshire Ability Counts League 7-a-side Premier Division.

Dinno – with a First Team, a Ladies Team and twenty-three other competitive teams down to Under 7’s are a well-established Community Club, founded in 1908, with over 350 registered players and over fifty coaches. They are based at the Blackout13.com Arena, formerly known as Phoenix Park, in S25, but this is their first foray into competitive disability football – and they can’t wait to get started!

www.southyorkshireabilitycountsleague.com spoke to club secretary Katie Curtis about the team. We started by asking how the disability team came about.

“Our Disability team only formed three weeks ago, so this is a very exciting time for us!” Katie admitted.” It’s a big step forward for Dinnington Town, and we’re delighted that the team is part of the club’s growth.”

Asked how Dinno had joined the South Yorkshire Ability Counts League, Katie revealed that a familiar face had been at the centre of this new project.

” We joined the league following the team’s formation. We are fortunate to have a Manager/Coach like James Scally who has previously played in the Ability Counts League, and he has joined Dinnington this year. That experience certainly helped us make the connection and take the big step forward to joining the South Yorks ACL.”

Katie has realistic ambitions for the season ahead.

” For the first season, it is just about getting the players to gel as a team. Once the players are comfortable and working well together, the plan is then next season to push on and hopefully compete at the top of the league. ” 

Welcome to Katie and the players, and welcome back to James. Dinnington Town start their campaign at Concord against Sheffield FC Blue this coming Sunday.
