Daniel Landstrom, Football Development Officer at Cheshire FA said;

Disability football in Cheshire is thriving and it’s great to see so many disabled young people enjoying playing football.  The college festivals are another example of how Cheshire FA are helping to increase participation for disabled people and they will continue to be delivered next season.  I’d like to thanks all the colleges for their support and we look forward to welcoming you back next season.’
