Make A Child Smile: The Tommy Leech Fund
Tommy was born early due to complications and was born without any ears.  The operation to construct Tommy’s new ears will cost around a staggering £50,000 and Middlesbrough Futsal Club are supporting his fundraising campaign along with our official charity Make A Child Smile.  To raise funds we are hosting an exhibition match with Ipswich Wolves, the English Champions on 23rd February 2008.  Tickets are free and can be obtained by calling 07807 146 319, or by logging on to www.BoroFutsal.co.uk.  There will be fundraising games on the day and a prize draw with some great prizes so get your tickets now and enjoy a top family day out.

The FA Futsal League

And Finally
Middlesbrough Futsal Club made it’s first appearance (that we know of!) in the national media this week when NUTS, in their feature “50 Premier League Secrets!”, wrote:  “England Wing Wizard Stewart Downing is the honorary president of Middlesbrough Futsal (indoor 5-a-side) Club.”  It’s on page 45 and it is number 18 out of 50 Football Secrets!
