MH Goals has supplied many of North Riding’s clubs and facilities with goals, nets and other football equipment since our partnership began in 2017, ensuring everyone has access to high quality goals that comply to the latest safety standards.

Steven Wade, Chief Executive of North Riding FA, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have agreed an extension to our existing partnership agreement with MH Goals. Their commitment to producing and providing top quality products at affordable prices is the reason we were so keen to continue with the relationship.

We are excited to work with MH Goals over the next three years and I am sure many of our clubs and facility providers will benefit from the partnership during this time.”

The partnership entitles affiliated clubs to 20% off our range of steel and aluminium goals, as well as discounts on nets and accessories.

Matthew Harrod, MH Goal’s Sales Director added, “Working with a forward thinking organisation like North Riding FA over the last three years has been a pleasure and I was more than happy to renew our partnership. The new partnership ensures that not only can we continue to offer the clubs of North Riding FA a wide range of safe and durable football equipment at a discounted rate, but also give them expert advice on goal post safety and maintenance.”

The club has suffered for years with cancelled games due to flooded pitches at their ground. Now congested fixture lists and disappointed players will be a thing of the past thanks to this £770,000 upgrade to the club facilities.

MH Goals, who are the main sponsors of Beccles Town, have been involved in the project from the start, and have provided all the goals for the new all-weather surface. This included 11 a side pro stadium box goals, 9v9 Evo self-weighted goals and our new lift and go mini soccer goals.

The pitch will have its official opening on the 12^th April, but has already seen use, with the U16 and U18 teams the first to try it out. Teams from the younger age groups also made the most of the new facility, coincidentally on a day that saw prolonged bursts of heavy rain, conditions which would have rendered the previous grass pitch unplayable.

“We feel like we’ve started things off in the right way, with our under-16s team and our under-18s who have been struggling to get a game recently because they are all being called off,” said Club chairman David Leech.

“This is a group of lads who will spend the next couple of years playing together, so it felt right for them to play on it first.”

They will also be eligible for money off line markers, nets and other accessories, to keep their grounds and equipment in top condition.

“We believe that grassroots football is the cornerstone of the beautiful game,” MH Goals Sales Director Matthew Harrod commented. “So we are pleased to offer a wide range of discounts to all clubs affiliated with Cumberland FA, to help them play the game with safe, expertly made goals which conform to the latest safety standards.”

The scheme saw the construction of four football hubs in Liverpool; each with three full size 3G pitches, changing rooms and extensive car parking.

The project, called Parklife, is the brainchild of the FA, and follows on from a successful trial in Sheffield. It is a major investment in grassroots football in the city with around £20m spent on the initiative.

We supplied a total of 168 self-weighted lift and lower goals, along with team shelters, rugby goals, boot wipers and hundreds of corner poles bases and flags.

MH Goals has been a leading supply to Football Foundation projects for a number of years and is no stranger to large projects, with over 500 futsal goals provided late last year through the futsal starter pack grant.

Matthew Harrod, Sales Director for MH Goals, said – “These Parklife hubs are going to be fantastic for Liverpool and really support grass roots football in the area for many years to come. Although the quantity and value of these orders are pretty impressive they are just part and parcel of what MH Goals does best. I’m proud of everyone at MH Goals from manufacturing to our installation team who have really stepped up to get these jobs completed on time in an already busy summer season for the company.”

Last month MH Goals had the privilege of attending the opening of The Nest, a football facility run by Norwich City Community Sports Foundation (CSF).

As part of our sponsorship we supplied The Nest with two pairs of Pro Stadium wheeled 24×8 football goals, and seven pairs of self-weighted goals at various sizes. These were in addition to four Pro Team Shelters, ball stop posts and netting, and enough corner poles and flags to kit out all seven pitches, ensuring the facility has safe, quality goals and sports equipment.

MH Goals has been a business partner of the CSF since 2016, and so we were delighted to be able to help them with this new enterprise, becoming an Official Supporter of The Nest in the process.

The Nest is designed to be a sporting hub from which the CSF can reach an extra 12,000 people a year. The opening ceremony marked the completion of Phase One which included the construction of seven grass football pitches as well as the renovation of the existing clubhouse, and the installation of residential bunk boxes.

In the first few weeks over 2,000 people enjoyed the pitches and clubhouse at The Nest, including delighted young footballers who attended a special Grant Holt Soccer School.

The CSF is an organisation attached to Norwich City FC, which aims to help people achieve their goals by delivering quality, innovative services through football and sport. The plan for later phases will see an indoor sports hall, gymnasium, floodlit 3G football pitch, and classroom facilities added to the site, and increase footfall to over 300,000 visits every year. It will be the only community-focused sports hub of its kind in the East of England.

“It’s fantastic to be part of a project like this that seeks to make football accessible to all, regardless of age, ability or background,” said MH Goals MD Mark Harrod. “It’s already in great shape, and we are looking forward to being part of the next phase.”

This deal is part of an exclusive partnership with Manchester Futsal Club, which sees us supporting the Seniors, Development Team and Women’s Team in the FA Futsal National League for the coming season. It also means the MH Goals logo will take centre stage on the club’s new shirts.

MH Goals MD Mark Harrod has known Simon Wright, the Manchester Futsal Club Chairman, professionally for many years and so when the opportunity to partner with them arose, he jumped at the chance.

As well as supporting the club, MH Goals will be working with MFC to develop a high quality futsal goal together. With our technical expertise and their day-to-day experience of the game, we are looking to create a goal that will become the benchmark for all futsal goals.

Manchester Futsal Club was established in 2006 to lead the growth and development of futsal within Manchester. The club is at the forefront of futsal development in England, were the first ever FA Charter Standard Futsal Club and in 2014 were awarded Community Sports Club of the Year by Manchester City Council.

Simon Wright said of the deal, “it is important for us to be working with partners that really understand the club and the sport of futsal so MH Goals and Manchester Futsal Club are a truly great fit.”

The Beacon of Light, due to open its doors to the public in the summer, is a five storey multi-functional sports, health and education centre which includes a multi-use sports hall and six outdoor football pitches. It also features the impressive football barn, an arena on the top floor which measures 60 x 60m, comfortably providing space for 2 five a side pitches.

Now the building work is in its final stages, we will be supplying a full range of freestanding and self-weighted 5 a side, mini soccer, 9v9 and futsal goals along with many badminton and netball posts.

While the venue is state of the art, it’s designed as a facility for the whole community to use – as Jamie Wright, Assistant Director of Sales and Delivery at Beacon of Light says, “It’s not an elite environment, the Beacon is for everybody, but the facilities are elite.”

Norfolk FA is running a series of workshops this spring to explore the best way to bridge the gap between youth football and senior football.

Aimed at U15-17 managers, the evenings will consist of group work, networking and sharing good practice as well as an opportunity to present modern day challenges and receive support from peers and Norfolk FA staff.

We are providing four bespoke training goals as an incentive for people to sign up to these valuable workshops. Every attendee will be entered into a draw to win a goal, which are worth £210 each.

MH Goals Sales and Marketing Director Matthew Harrod said: “We have worked with Norfolk FA for many years and seen first-hand the great programmes and workshops they offer. ‘Next Step’ will greatly benefit grassroots football in the county and MH Goals is delighted to offer our support.”

Norfolk FA’s Senior Football Development Officer, Stacey Annison said: “We’re excited to be able to deliver these ‘Next Step’ workshops as we think they will have a really positive impact on those involved in Norfolk Football, in particular those that are involved in or have direct influence on this important age bracket.”

“The support that our partners MH Goals have given us with regards to these workshops is great and their contribution of nearly £1000 worth of equipment is testament to how much they appreciate the local grassroots game.”

However, the first players to test the new posts weren’t Sunday League battlers or enthusiastic youngsters. Instead it was a group of men who are old enough to remember nail studded boots, leather footballs and where they were when England won the World Cup.

Mansfield Walking Reds Over-60s formed in 2014, and numbers have grown ever since. They meet twice a week, run Over 50s and Over 60s sessions, and even go abroad to play (they’re twice champions of the Los Montesinos tournament in Spain). They christened the goals on the 1st of February with two games and over 30 players.

The new goals were provided for their pitch in Mansfield as part of our partnership with Nottinghamshire FA. MH Goals has been their endorsed goalpost supplier since 2016, due to our reputation as a manufacturer of high quality goals with an emphasis on safety.

MH Goals offer exclusive discounts to all FA affiliated clubs, you can find out more here.

MH Goals became Devon County FA’s Official Goal Post Supplier this summer, launching the partnership at the Devon FA Senior 11 vs Plymouth Argyle game in July.

Every club under the Devon FA banner will now be able to enjoy a 20% discount off a huge range of MH Goals products.

Chris French, County Development Manager at Devon FA, had this to say on the recent partnership being born: “We regularly have enquiries from clubs asking about purchasing new goals and due to funding constraints we sometimes find it difficult to secure funding for them. With this partnership and discount for all our affiliated clubs we hope this will support them in purchasing new goals.

“The quality products and service MH Goals gives is everything we look for in partnerships, and we look forward to working together for the next three seasons.”

“We’re delighted to be working with Devon FA for the next three years,” said Mark Harrod, MD of MH Goals. “We’re passionate about grassroots sport, and partnerships like this allow us to demonstrate our support in a way that helps everyone in the game.”

This celebration of grassroots football in Suffolk was a huge success in 2016, and allows MH Goals to continue their support of the local game in the county.

Suffolk FA Senior Football Development Officer Michael Cornall said: “We are extremely excited about the return of Love Football Live Football Week.

“It was fantastic to see how much the Suffolk Football Community got behind the week and really embraced this celebration of football within the county.”

There will be over forty events taking place between October 14^th and 22^nd, encompassing all aspects of the game from the traditional 11-a-side variant to Futsal and Walking Football. The Suffolk FA Youth Conference, a great success last year with its high profile speakers from the FA, will also make a return.

Michael continued: “The Suffolk football community really embraced the week last year and as we look to make things even bigger and better they will continue to feature heavily in our plans for this season’s key events.”

New for this year will be the provision of bootbanks across the county, allowing players to donate their old boots to a worthy cause, and a 12 hour footballathon for charity is also being planned. The week culminates with the East Anglian derby as Ipswich welcome Norwich City to Portman Road.

Managing Director Mark Harrod said: “We’re delighted to once again be sponsoring Suffolk FA’s Love Football, Live Football Week. Last year’s event was a great success and really showcased grassroots football in Suffolk.

“This year Love Football, Live Football Week is set to be even bigger and MH Goals will also be running special offers and competitions throughout the week in support of this fantastic event.”

Nearly one year on the partnership is continuing to align and strengthen both brands, working to provide quality football equipment to grassroots clubs at affordable prices. In addition, it’s seen Norfolk-affiliated clubs provided with further discounts and regular special offers.

MH Goals are dedicated to supporting football in the area, a commitment which took Managing Director Mark Harrod and Sales Director Matthew Harrod to the opening of Norfolk County FA and Flegg High School’s new football hub, ‘theFDC@Flegg’, last October. The venue comprises a state-of-the-art, full size 3G Artificial Grass Pitch (AGP) and changing facilities, offering training and playing provision for multiple formats of football. MH Goals also supplied the twelve goals used on the playing surface, allowing games of 11v11, 9v9, 7v7 and 5v5 football to take place.

Norfolk County FA Chairman Michael Banham, who was present to open the occasion, show around key attendees and formally announce the new partnership, said: “The facilities and equipment at theFDC@Flegg are of top quality and that includes the twelve goals present on site that MH Goals have supplied. It’s fantastic that Norfolk FA has been able to form a partnership with a company that provides a service so key to our beautiful game. I am excited for the future workings between the Association and MH Goals and I look forward to seeing this collaboration continue to benefit grassroots football in Norfolk.

The facility was opened by former pupil and ex-Norwich City FC defender Ryan Bennett who was joined by his teammate John Ruddy and Millwall Lionesses goalkeeper Sarah Quantrill.

Bennett said: “The facilities here are first class, allowing the kids to train and play matches on a daily basis. I remember having some great matches here but we certainly never had this standard of facility!”

Mark Harrod, Managing Director of MH Goals, said “theFDC@flegg is an outstanding facility and we are proud to have been involved in such a great project. Norfolk FA’s passion and professionalism have really brought the county’s football into the 21st century and I look forward to the rest of our three-year deal with them. Our partnership has meant, and will continue to mean, that we are able to offer all Norfolk FA affiliated clubs discounts across a whole range of our products and provide them with professional, safe football goals direct from a trusted local manufacturer.”

This extended partnership will see MH Goals Ltd sponsor the league, which is provided by the County FA as part of our support to 11v11 football, for the next 3 seasons.

Two all-women football teams have just returned from playing a full-scale match on Africa’s highest mountain, breaking the Guinness World Record for the highest altitude game of football ever played.

It took them eight days to reach the volcanic ash plain just below the summit, and along with sleeping bags, tents, climbing equipment and survival gear, they carried with them two goalposts made specially by MH Goals.

The attempt was part of the Equal Playing Field (EPF) initiative, which aims to increase opportunity, equality and respect for women playing or working in sport and raise the profile of inspirational female sporting role models in the media.

“The problem is as simple and powerful as our love of the game,” said Erin Blankenship, co-founder of EPF (equalplayingfield.com 8^th June 2017).

“The lack of equality for and representation of women in sport is appalling across the board. Equal Playing Field is taking aim at the systematic inequalities girls and women face that limit their opportunities, acceptance and value as athletes and individuals, starting with those on a football pitch.”

To succeed in their record attempt the teams needed to play using full-sized 24×8 goals. So when they approached us to supply these goals we knew that we had to create something special for this important challenge. After some intense research and development we came up with a set of goals that were light, easy to carry and could break down into small sections. We also made bespoke bags that made the goals easier to transport all the way to the top of the mountain.

Making their way to the top of Kilimanjaro was a truly international line-up: the players included former Canadian defender Sasha Andrews, Germany legend Petra Landers, Afghanistan international Hajar Abufazl amongst their ranks, plus players from Argentina, Egypt, Mexico, Great Britain, the US, France, Jordan and the UAE.

“As soon as we heard about this fantastic venture, we knew we had to get involved,” said Mark Harrod, founder of MH Goals. “Not only is the EPF an initiative that’s really close to our hearts, it was a technical challenge we could really get our teeth into. Everyone involved is really proud of what has been achieved and we look forward to working with EPF in the future.”

Last September, MH Goals donated new Futsal goals to Northamptonshire FA’s Futsal Programme for use at the Arena Sports centre in Kettering.

Futsal is a fast-paced, high-octane game that is great for improving a player’s technical skill. The game is widely played across the world, and many World Cup winners attribute their football success to playing futsal in their youth.

In recent years it has really started to take off in the UK, and Northamptonshire FA is at the forefront by offering a number of both men’s and women’s leagues, as well as ‘Just Play’ Futsal sessions. Competitive Futsal leagues, along with recreational sessions for adults and children, ensure that there really is something for everyone!

MH Goals has been a firm supporter of futsal for a number of years and Matthew Harrod, Sales Director at MH Goals, has been delighted to able to assist Northamptonshire FA with their ever-expanding Futsal Programme. “Futsal is a great game for developing the skills of both youth and adults alike, and MH Goals was more than happy to sponsor a new pair of Futsal goals for Northamptonshire FA at Arena Sports Kettering.”

Stuart Smith, Football Development Officer at Northamptonshire Football Association added: “We’re extremely grateful to Matthew and the team at MH Goals for this new set of Futsal goals. Futsal is a superb format of the game as you get loads more touches of the ball than conventional 11-a-side football. Those extra touches fine-tune your first touch, movement, passing and skill development. We encourage all our clubs and leagues to get in touch with Arena Sports and make a booking!”
