FRIENDS SPORTING CLUB, MANCHESTER
YESTERDAY
Friends Sporting Club (FSC), Manchester was formed in 2005, when a few like-minded friends, in and around Manchester, met up and decided to start playing cricket. We started playing every weekend with a tennis ball and the venue being Whitworth Park.
TODAY
We are one of the most progressive club in Manchester with a steady rise in our stature and activities both in Sports as well in the Cultural and Philanthropic areas involving all communities.
We are now an integral part of the Greater Manchester Cricket League with 2 Senior, 3 Junior and 1 Ladies Softball Cricket teams this season 2019. We host a regular Cricket Coaching Camp for the last 5 years which has given us many young talents and also host an All UK Badminton Tournament the past 6 years which has been very popular with Badminton enthusiasts.
Apart from sports, our Women’s wing organises many cultural events involving the club’s members and children thus providing avenues to showcase their talents. Our annual Awards Ceremony Nite is another stage for multi cultural activities with a Food Festival and Charity Event.
For all our efforts and good work we were given due recognition by been nominated and awarded with the Club of Year Awards by Manchester City Council and British Malayalee News Portal. Our Cricket Coach won "Coach of the Year 2018" Lancashire Coaches Association, and beeing Runner up in OSCA (Outstanding Service to Cricket Awards) by English Cricket Board.
TOMORROW
We are a club with great aspirations and ideas where every year we raise the bar for greater achievements and progress. All members then wholeheartedly strive to ensure the club achieves those targets fully.
Our next big goal is to have in the near future, our own premises with a clubhouse, ground and all other facilities to host in house multiple sports.
