Heath Youth Football Club.
Bergholt Heath YFC was formed in 1999 to provide an opportunity for the youth
of West Bergholt to play football in the Colchester & District Youth League.
The Club currently runs 4 teams - one each in the Under-11, -12, -13 and -16 age
groups. Most of the players are from the village but players from outside
Bergholt are also accepted. The club welcomes girl players in the Under-11
age group where league rules permit mixed teams.
The teams train on Saturday mornings at Poors Field in the village, this is
also where the 3 younger teams play their home matches on a Sunday. The
Under-16 team home games are played at the home of West Bergholt FC in the Lorkin Daniell
sports field.
The club is proud to be sponsored by
