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.”

According to FA statistics there are now over 2.5 million registered female players in England, and the number of registered women’s teams is set to hit 12,000 by next year. There are more than 900 Wildcats FA Girls’ Football Centres around the country and 41,000 female FA qualified coaches.

Last August we began sponsoring Manchester Futsal Club, and their women’s team has achieved an impressive double at the end of this season, winning both the Futsal League and the Futsal Cup.

We also sponsor the Cornwall Women’s County Cup, and at the end of April our MD Mark Harrod had the privilege of visiting Bodieve Park to witness the final and present the trophy and medals to eventual victors Callington Town Ladies, who ran out 7-0 winners over Bude Town Ladies. He gave both sides MH Goals gift vouchers so the clubs could buy high quality sports equipment for next season.

Elite level women’s football is also experiencing a renaissance at the moment, with crowds at the FA Cup final trebling between 2014 (15,098) and 2018 (45,423), while over 55,000 have watched the national team, dubbed the Lionnesses, play at Wembley. They came third in the last World Cup, the highest placed European side, and are looking to go further in France this summer.

However it’s not just football where women’s sport is strong. England’s women’s rugby team has been in seven World Cup Finals out of eight and finished 3^rd the one time they missed out. England’s women cricketers are current world champions, and will be looking to defend their title at the 2021 World Cup in New Zealand.

And England’s Women’s Netball team won the BBC’s Greatest Sporting Moment of the Year and Team of the Year in 2018 when they claimed Commonwealth gold against hosts and overwhelming favourites Australia, with a last-second goal in the final. They’ll be looking to consolidate on that victory with a World Cup win later this summer.

International success filters down and inspires girls and women at grassroots level. Along with initiatives such as #ThisGirlCan and the BBC’s #ChangeTheGame, there is more interest in women’s sport in this country than there has been for a generation. Long may it continue.

While independent schools are traditionally associated with rugby football rather than association football, the round ball game has always had a presence at many independent schools, going back to the days of the Corinthian Casuals.

The ISFA has been represented on The FA Council since 1904 but became more organised in the 1960s through the work of the headmaster of Brentwood School, Richard Sale, who was the independent school representative on the FA council (and who coincidentally spent the last years of his life in Beccles, just two miles from our HQ).

Over the years the organisation has expanded, with representative programmes at regional and national levels for U13s to U18s, and a girls section which was added to the ISFA in 2005. Now over 360 independent schools are currently affiliated with the ISFA, and that number is expected to increase for the upcoming 2019/2020 season.

“We are really pleased to be working with the ISFA,” said Matthew Harrod, MH Goals sales director. “Independent schools football is booming, and it’s great that we can provide schools across the country with high quality, ultra safe goals for their pupils to play in.”

The ISFA teams often play against professional clubs, and the ISFA cup, which is one of many tournaments organised by the ISFA, is regarded as one of the most prestigious trophies in youth football. Frank Lampard, Victor Moses, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Michael Keane and Fraser Forster are just some of the professional players who attended an ISFA member school, and with more and more children of Premier League players attending independent schools, the standard continues to climb.

“The Independent Schools FA is delighted to welcome MH Goals on board as one of our partners and Officially Approved Goalpost Supplier,” stated Mark Dickson, Chief Executive of the ISFA. “They have been leaders in this field for many years now and have built up a reputation for quality throughout the game. We are very pleased to recommend them to all our member schools and look forward to meeting their staff at our events during the coming seasons”.

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.

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!”
