Club Comments on achieving the award Chris Dymond, Chairman said ‘‘The presentation of the FA Development Club award is for all the volunteers and their dedication over the last few years in making this happen, giving up free time to train and coach the players and also to attend all the various courses that are required, and to all the behind the scenes support that is given, also the dedication of the players and the families to make it happen, A big thank you to all our partners and sponsors for helping Barnton Youth FC in helping us achieve this award ''
