It was our pleasure to help out Market Warsop FC last weekend by lending them our inflatable penalty shootout net for an organised football tournament at their ground โฝ๏ธ
Over 80 youth teams took park and the proceeds raised on the day from the net went directly to the club ๐
We were pleased to hear it was over ยฃ600 - What a fantastic result!
Oh, what a day! ๐
A full year of planning. A full week of stressing, second-guessing ideas and wondering if everything would come together.
Wellโฆ it did.
As a group of volunteers who have become like a second family, we pulled it off.
75+ teams in one day โ a record-breaking turnout for the club! ๐
Best of all, there were no major incidents, and the feedback we received throughout the day was incredible. Comments like that make every meeting, every late night and every bit of hard work worthwhile. They remind us why we do what we do โ to support grassroots football and our local community.
A huge thank you to every club, player, coach and parent who attended. You all did your clubs proud and helped make the day such a fantastic occasion.
A special thank you to:
โฝ Our young referees โ without you, there simply wouldnโt be any games. Your efforts are hugely appreciated.
๐ Playback Events and all of the other vendors who attended and helped make the day even more enjoyable.
๐ฅ
Lindleys Auto Centre for kindly providing their inflatable penalty shootout completely free of charge, allowing every penny raised to stay within the club.
๐ Firbeck Trophies for supplying the fantastic trophies and medals.
๐ The Bowring family for helping with the parking and allowing us to use their field. With the number of people who attended, it was an absolute lifesaver!
๐๏ธ Our own players, who spent time litter-picking throughout the day to keep the venue looking its best. You did the club proud.
๐ The staff at the venue for helping everything run so smoothly from start to finish.
Tournament Day is, without doubt, my favourite day of the yearโyes, even more than Christmas! Itโs the one day where you can stand back, take it all in, and remember exactly why we all volunteer.
Watching hundreds of children enjoying football, seeing coaches encouraging their teams, parents cheering from the sidelines, and our whole community coming togetherโฆ thatโs what itโs all about.
Finally, to every single volunteerโฆ
You are simply incredible.
Without you, none of this happens. The hours you give, the hard work behind the scenes and the passion you show for this club never go unnoticed.
I genuinely love you all. Thank you for everything. ๐
Up the Market Warsop family!
