Grove Farm Junior Football Club is based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The club has been established for thirty years and is one of the oldest in the town. The club was started by Graham Baxter, to provide footballing opportunities for boys in the town and became, through Grahams hard work, the club to belong to. Graham eventually became one of the founder members of the Nuneaton and Bedworth Minor League which has now grown to its largest size this year with approximately 140 teams partcipating in the league and cup competitions. Unfortuantley Graham is no longer with us but his contribution to the club is celebrated each year at the Club presentation evening with the award of the Graham Baxter Memorial Trophy to the team which, in the opinion of the committee, has achieved the most for the club not only in terms of winning but also by supporting the club throughout the year and enhancing the prominence/standing of the club.The award is invariably presented by Grahams wife, Margaret and is keenly sought by all the teams. The club went from strength to strength and had a number of successes in the league. A number of teams participated in exchange visits with teams from Rouanne in France and from Holland Over recent years the club has reduced in size, primarily due to the emergence of new clubs in the town however the club still has a good team base and , due to new teams and players joining us this season, the club now fields nine teams playing in the Nuneaton and Bedworth mini/ minor leagues. Grove Farm prides itself on being an open and family orientated club and encourages parents and supporters to attend club meetings and to take an active part in club proceedings and events.

In junior football, should all players be given the same amount of time on the pitch during a game, regardless of ability?
Yes, always. Getting kids involved is the most important thing.
Yes, unless it is an important game.
No. Winning is important at all ages, so the best players should play more often.
