aston clinton cobras

Who are they?

Churchill - In "Accrington Stanley" mode!

i thought they were long deceased. seems in fact that they are alive and well though living under the aegis of the aston clinton colts. i used to play for the cobras in the 70's when i was a nipper. a quick google finds the colts web page http://www.astonclintoncolts.org.uk/ and the following is an extract.

Every child and young person who plays football should be able to participate in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from abuse. This is the responsibility of every adult involved in football.

We recognise, however, that child abuse is also a very emotive and difficult subject. It is important to understand the feelings involved but not to allow them to interfere with our judgment about any action to be taken. The Aston Clinton Colts recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from physical, sexual or emotional harm and from neglect or bullying.

nicely contrite. see - you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Admirable sentiments indeed.

Does the fact that they have to try and 'safeguard the welfare' of the kids mean they are surrounded by scum
