Stamford AFC hosted a fantastic weekend of grassroots football for 96 teams and over 900 players
Over 900 players across 96 teams competed in Stamford AFC Young Daniels’ summer football festival at Borderville Sports Centre, making for a fantastic weekend of grassroots football.
The tournament was an overriding success as players aged between six and 14 produced moments of brilliance over a hot weekend, with many of the finals going all the way to penalties.
A dedicated group of volunteers put in an immense effort not just over the weekend, but over many months of planning to deliver a tournament that exceeded all expectations.
Steve Gaunt, who headed up the volunteers, said: “We’re fortunate to have such fantastic facilities at Stamford AFC. It was great to see almost 50 different clubs attend over the two days from as far away as Grimsby. It was also amazing to hear so may positive comments about our club, the facilities and the way in which the tournament was run.
“It’s the first time we’ve put on an event of this size, and it’s been an overwhelming success. A massive thanks to all the players, managers, spectators, officials and, of course, the amazing volunteers who worked so hard over the last few months to make it such a memorable weekend for everyone.”
