25 hours for 25 seasons! Friday 13th June 5pm to Saturday 14th June 6pm.
Ashwell Accies Youth Football Club are holding a one-off fun village football event on Ashwell Recreation Ground between 5pm on Friday 13th June and 6pm on Saturday 14th June. The event celebrates the 25th Anniversary of our club’s first season, and we need the help of people of all ages in our village to keep some football going on the Rec for 25 hours!
What games are being played?
We want to keep football being played on the Rec for 25 hours, from Friday 5pm to Saturday 6pm. The games will be informal, so they can be for teams of 5 up to 11 players. We will need players to keep at least 1 game going at all times – overnight we will only have one small game going under floodlights, but at busier times we can run multiple games at the same time across different pitches on the Rec. It is not a tournament, it is a fun opportunity for anyone to come and play football at the level you want to.
Who can play?
The event is open to anyone living or working in Ashwell village, as well as current Ashwell Accies and former players in Ashwell Accies’ history. All ages and abilities are welcome. *We need teams to register in advance of the event, to help us to organise the event.
