Feedback received, indicates that this year’s event was the best yet and in the run up to the 2012 Olympics, community sport has never been more important, the day offered a unique platform for kids in the community to get involved in sport, capturing audiences across diverse communities.
The event was not just a great day for the competitors, it was also a valuable opportunity for volunteers to share their experience and give something back to the world of sport and football. Without the dedication and enthusiasm of these often overlooked individuals, events like this simply couldn't take place. The ethos of the games is to promote physical activity and fair play and has a huge emphasis on participation and inclusion for all.
England and Everton women’s football player Lindsay Johnson came to support, inspire and promote the beautiful game to young females taking part in the girls’ football event. Borough teams from Congleton, Chester, Crewe & Nanwich, Ellesmere Port & Neston, Macclesfield and Vale Royal all took part in the special day.
Vale Royal and Macclesfield booked their place in the final with Vale Royal being the eventual winners and Chester taking the fair play award. The participants are encouraged to continue their development and desire for playing the beautiful game by attending their local girls clubs.
