JBFC alumni now an international champion.
The NZ All Whites win the OFC U19’s tournament, & JBFC alumni James Bulkeley scored the winning goal.
This young lad now has 4 international caps to his name and the All Whites have qualified for the World Cup next year.

@midgeure1 - please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of Chris. You have no idea on the impact yourself, Chris, Billy and Warren have had on my life and to lose Chris is like losing a friend to me. I can only imagine what it means to you. My thoughts are with you all

Great to see Jarrod (pictured) and JB starting today. Very proud of these lads who have progressed well from NPL2 to professional football through JBFC.
Fleetwood United sit top of their league just now and a victory today will cement their position. Good luck lads.

A goal from my U16’s NPL1 team Mt Druitt team against MacArthur Bulls academy… imagine this being commented on by @simonhill1894 or being scored by one of the “big” teams. Wouldn’t hear the end of it! All about movement- and that finish!
