The new and improved JFL kicked off on Thursday 18th March with over 30 teams present at Dubai Men’s College. The JFL started with the Under 7’s division seeing 6 teams battle it out for poll position, all fixtures were as lively as expected and some fantastic Football was seen being played by children of such a young age.
Once the curtain drew on the U7’s division we saw the every competitive Under 9’s and 11’s begin. The highlight of the day had to be Pitch number 2 with the Under 9’s Premier division, where we had some very tasty ties that certainly lived up to expectations.
The JFL has introduced longer matches from U9’s upwards, which has most certainly improved the format of the League. This will improve the standard of football and will also give team managers a chance to have team talks and more time to make changes and substitutes to his/her team.
A huge well done to all teams and we look forward to seeing the Under 7,9,11s on April 1st.
