As a mark of respect to the late Alan Toward of Heaton Hawks JFC, who tragically passed away on Saturday 24 February 2018, the league requests that all parents, players, managers, spectators and officials take part in a minutes applause prior to kick-off to celebrate his life.

Alan was a well-respected coach at Heaton Hawks JFC and had been with the club for over 7 years. However, Alan involvement in Grassroots football spans a period of over 25 years and his time and dedication will be remember for many years to come.

Our thoughts remain with Alan’s wife and family, Heaton Hawks JFC as a club and members of the current squad.
