Tonight 500 children took part in an Under 8 football blitz sponsored by Lynco. The pitches were slightly longer than normal and there were no goal keepers to encourage the kick pass and kicking points and there were some fine examples of both on show! Thank you to all the teams for taking part and those who helped with the refereeing, it was a tremendous night of football under the floodlights.
