Pride of South Tyneside - shortlisted again

Hebburn Town Juniors FC are making headlines again as they have been shortlisted for two awards at this years Shields Gazette Sponsored “Pride of South Tyneside Awards”
We have been shortlisted for the
– Sports Team of the Year Award
– Lifetime Contribution Award
This is the second year running we have reached the shortlist, in 2014 we were voted winners of the “Sporting Excellence Award” and club chairman Stephen Rutherford is hoping we can go on and win another.
Stephen commented “To be nominated by members of the public who recognise what we as a club do for the young children of Hebburn and South Tyneside overall is fantastic, we are a voluntary run club with 65 coaches who dedicate a lot of time to promote development of children aged 4 years to 21 years of age in football. Reaching the shortlist of the Pride of South Tyneside Awards for the second year running is a huge achievement in itself, I really hope we can go on and pick up at least one of the awards as it will be recognition for everyone who supports the club whom without them we wouldn’t be what we are today”
The black tie finale awards evening will be held on Thursday 25th June at The Quality Hotel in Boldon where Stephen and the exec committee will join other shortlist contenders hoping to scoop the prize
Keep your fingers crossed everyone.

Waiter, waiter



While out and about one of our younger players spotted the following picture in a local pub and asked if it really was our Website Admin Man, or the kit fella or the U14 Hornet Manager. 

We are unable to confirm whether Norman has been modelling for an artist or more likely does he have a part time job in Mambos?

Norm has refused to comment....



Competition time. 
The player/HTJ fan/coach who is the 1,973 rd person who shout waited there's a fly in my soup will win a prize. 

Closing date 12/13/2020. 

Has anyone spotted Normski in Mambos?

Presentation - including Reffle

How busy was this session...3 more to go

Firstly a massive well done to every who helped organise the presentation day. A lot of work done by some great HTJ volunteers.

We hope everyone enjoyed the day...even if you never got a seat.
It made everyone just how big the club is getting and what a great community is built around the club.

"Well Done" everyone for the last year, it was great...onwards and upwards now for the coming year.

Quite a few trophies there

Tour de North East Coast


Charity Bike Ride – Hebburn Town Coaches and Dads

Over the weekend of the 5th, 6th & 7th of June a cycling team from Hebburn Town Juniors F.C. will be taking on a 200 mile charity bike ride from Edinburgh to Hebburn.
The team made up of Brian Stewart, Kevin Carter, Kevin Van Enk, Paul Donaghy and Jimmy Hudson are all coaches and dads from Hebburn Town Juniors F C.
With lots of discussion over a few beers in the Lord Nelson on many Sunday afternoons on which charity event to do, it was decided the Coast Castle ride was the event everyone decided on.

Over the last few months the team have been meeting up for training rides on a regular basis in preparation for the 200 mile bike ride. After getting over the initial saddle sore the lads are now fully prepared and raring to go.

The reason behind the charity bike ride is to celebrate Brian Stewart’s big 40 years of life. Brian who turns 40 in June wanted to do something different for his birthday and raise funds for a charity. All the funds raised will be presented to one of the charity’s founders on Friday 19th June as a surprise donation with any cash donations collected at Brian’s birthday party, in lieu of presents.

The charity that Brian has chosen is STAR INTERNATIONAL, an international charity which focuses on care, rehabilitation for orphaned children suffering from abuse, neglect and disability. All the funds raised will help provide equipment, care, medicine and education for the children and appropriate training for their carer’s, ensuring that facilities are maintained to an acceptable level, promoting health and well-being for the children.

To help support the weekend, Hebburn Town Juniors F.C.'s main sponsor TYNE and WEAR LGV (Colin & Terry - Smith) have kindly offered free of charge, a support vehicle and driver to transport all riders and bikes to the start in Edinburgh City centre and a vehicle, driver to assist and support the riders on their epic ride South.

If anyone who would kindly like to sponsor the lads on their ride please contact any of the lads involved or in fact any HTJ coaches who can give you details for the 5 cyclists.

"Can you hear the Yorkshire sing..."

Preparing to 'hit the pitch'
The kids are getting some flag waving practice

'Mitch' was there...sometimes?
 "...No, No". That was the cry on the bus coming back from Durham as most of the bus let our resident Yorkshireman Richard Ross know where allegiances lay.

It was a funny day weather wise on Friday but that didn't stop 67 HTJ bods from making the trip down to the Riverside to see the Durham Jets take on the Yorkshire Vikings. 
We had 14 HTJ kids making up the Guard of Honour waiting for the teams to enter the pitch and then as if by some weird weather timing the heavens opened just as the teams were due to come onto the pitch.

The match had a 25 minute delay but a great evening was had by all as Durham beat Yorkshire to go back top of the Northen league.
The parents seemed to enjoy it big style...don't know why? I wonder if it was anything to do with being able to have a beer in your seats while watching the game.

We will load all of the pics up online soon.
