A Big Stage for Local Football

The club is inviting 25 surrounding clubs to attend, with a strong focus on engaging junior players and families. Young footballers will have the chance to watch some of the region’s best players in action and be inspired to chase their own football dreams.
Off the field, there will be plenty to enjoy for all ages, including:

Inspiring the Next Generation
One of the highlights of the day will be junior exhibition matches, giving young players the chance to step onto the field and experience the atmosphere of a major event.
