As the
word got around, of the newly formed club, more and
more boys wanted to play for the Eagles and Terry
approached me (Charlie Gazeley) to run another
team. My eldest son started to play in this team
and soon more and more boys became interested and
wanted to join the Eagles. As soon as my younger
son was old enough he also joined the Eagles and
soon we were all hooked.
As interest grew new
teams were being formed year after year and new
managers came bringing more new players.
The club has
grown from humble beginnings to its present day size,
to a total 18 teams. There are 10 Boys teams ranging from U8’s to U15’s,
6 girls teams ranging from U10's to U16's and we
also have senior Men' and Ladies Teams.
We play
in various leagues such as the Milton Keynes, Filmergraphics, Chiltern
Youth, Chiltern Junior Sevens, South Bed Saturday,
BHWFL and Home Counties Girls leagues.
Flitwick Eagles are now
one of the largest
Charter Standard Clubs in Bedfordshire.
Over the years we have had
many success stories, you can find some of them
listed in the
Trophy
Room.
Our club is a community
club and our policy is
not to necessarily take on the best players but to
provide the best facilities and coaching for all
girls and boys regardless of ability.
