Ballinger Football Club
Ballinger Football club was set up in the pre 2006/2007 season initially for Under 9s. Following the success of the club during its embryonic season, the club has expanded to include two teams for the 2007/2008 season, a under 10s and a under 8s.
Both teams ares a member of the Berks & Bucks FA and will play in the South Bucks Mini Soccer Conference League next season.
Home is the playing fields around Ballinger near Great Missenden. The Red Kite on our badge shows our close ties with the Chiltern countryside. While the nickname "the Bombers" comes from a dinner party conversation where a guest informed us that Ballinger was the first place in the U.K to have an incendiary bomb dropped on it during the war - the pilot was aiming for Chequers and missed!. How true this is we don´t know, but the name stuck! Hopefully no one was hurt.
While we have support staff and a full squad for the under 10s we are looking for players to represent us in the under 8s next season and any mad Mums or Dads that are willing to help out on the coaching side. We strongly believe that football should be played by all kids, regardless of ability, and ultimately it should be fun.
