Welcome to Durham County Football Club Season 2006-2007

Club Background

Durham County Football Club was established in 1992 when local lad Jeff Bowes noticed that youngsters were football daft but were not playing for any football teams at that time.

Initially he formed two teams of Under 11's and 12's and in their first year played friendlies against local teams. The following season 1993/94 they joined the Russell Foster Youth League.

More youngsters of varying ages became interested in the development of the Club and new teams were formed.

Durham County F.C. are now one of the largest clubs in the Russell Foster Youth and Durham FA Leagues with 19 teams, both boys and girls, ranging from Under 8's through to Under 18's for season 2006/2007.

Club aims and objectives

The aim of the club is to encourage youngsters in the area to participate in the sport and enjoy the game within a competitive spirit.

During the course of the past years the skills of some of the youngsters have been recognised by our larger clubs in the area, eg. Sunderland, Newcastle United, Middlesbrough etc., who have invited them to join their schools of excellence.

Within the last two years the club has been endeavouring to achieve higher footballing standards for the benefit of the youngsters.

To achieve this aim several managers within the club have qualified as football referees and some have acquired official FA coaching certificates.

We are always receptive to anyone who may wish to join the club. To do so, please contact us on our website or by telephoning any of the Managers.
