Boys game moved for TV

Boys vs. Ball Boyz has been moved to Thursday the 3rd October at 18 30 instead of Saturday the 28th of September at 15:00. The cup fixture has been moved as it has been scheduled to be televised on Sky TV.

Diaz, Migliorisi and Tanzi poised to sign

Ball Boyz are set to unveil three new signings by tomorrow. It is believed club officials have agreed personal terms and the players have all completed medicals successfully. The deals have not yet been finalised as the club are still awaiting the necessary work permits to be accepted by the Centro Sportivo Italiano FA.

Kevin Diaz, who last played for Spanish Giants, Barcelona's youth academy, is set to have smashed the club transfer record and will certainly be one of the top players in this year's Juniores division. The winger has also featured for the Spanish Under 16s.

Filippo Migliorisi is set to have signed a one-year contract with the option of a further year. The defender seems to fit the Ball Boyz requirements for a new centre-back. "We need someone tall and strong. Our back three were great last year, but you just have to wonder how many more games we could have won, had we had a little more height in the middle," says Ball Boyz secretary Leanne Indaimo.

Elsewhere, Andrea Tanzi is believed to have signed a similar deal.  It was believed the defensive midfielder opted to join Turchino Road despite being overloaded with offers during the course of the transfer window from other clubs.

Ball Boyz Transfer latest

The Ball Boyz are closing in on three new signings, believed to be a winger, a midfielder and a defender according to newly appointed Club Secretary, Leanne Indaimo.

"We can talk about the strength of our squad and the attitude all day, but nevertheless, we need three or four signings. We are very close to two, a defender and a midfielder and we are closing in on a wide-man to add to our strike power. We would also like to add a keeper to our squad, but so far we are miles off. Tommaso is doing a great job but we do need a back up in case of injury or suspension."

The Ball Boyz can also confirm that Thomas Worden and Federico Torti have departed the club on loan to Oakham F.C. and F.C. Gordonstoun respectively.

New season to kick off

Its that time of year when the summer ends, the transfer window closes and a new season of football begins. Its been a very busy summer this year at Turchino Road, with many veterans departing and a few new faces appearing. The Boyz bid farewell to veterans Matteo Fumagalli, Jacopo Fioravanti, Santiago Ferrari, Alfredo Macchi and Thomas Worden. In addition the team would like to thank Chirolles Khalil and Cristoforo Tarantelli for all their efforts for the club and would like to wish them the very best after one productive year at Turchino Road. Furthermore, this season sees a change in the directors box as well, with former chief secretary Maria Rosaria D'Amico stepping down from her post, being replaced by Leanne Indaimo. In terms of new faces, the Ball Boyz have yet to confirm any signings following the closing of the transfer window on the 2nd of September, however, it is beleived the BB's are very close to signing up two yet unknown free-agents, a midfielder and a defender.

On an administrative front, Chairman Mark Jonathan Cameron Worden has confirmed that the Ball Boyz should participate in the CSI Juniores category for a second-year running, following a brief stint in the Allievi category three years ago.

"We are very confident we can strike a deal with the Centro Sportivo Italiano within the next couple of weeks. We have got the personnel and we have got the backroom staff and administration board. We are ready to go for another season, and we are really looking forward to it."

This year may even see the Boyz participate for the first year in the CSI Cup.

"We wanted to sign up for the cup last year, but a lack of players dented our hopes that time, and we are determined not to let the same mistake catch us out again. I appreciate that we may not have the same squad depth as last year, but it is the character that counts. We still have our belief and our 'never say die' attitude. Like I said the core of the squad is still very similar.

"All that is missing is for us to take that determination out on the field and get us some points. We were very unlucky last season as a couple of bad injuries and lack of fitness cost us some dear points. But this year our fitness levels have improved drastically, so hopefully we should be more consistent this time round.

"In addition, this year our boys will be in the right age group and so have a better chance to excel. I admit things haven't gone according to plan on the transfer market. We still have the Indaimo transfer saga to sort out, but no matter what I still remain optimistic that this year will be the greatest ever that this football club has seen."
