This bank holiday Monday we go old school, playing ball from dawn till dusk. Playing for the love of the game, not because it's a league or a cup. Mixing age groups, let the kids play. Encourage free play, unstructured, take risks, try stuff, play street rules. Coaches, take a back seat and let the ballers go at it. Let the kids learn from kids. Let the young guns learn from the older bucks and maybe get one over. Showcase the wealth of skillage in the village.

This Monday, Clarisford Park becomes the Favela of Rio de Janeiro and the Barrios of Buenos Aires as the young and not so young play the beautiful game. All day long.

And it's all for a great cause, investing in our facilities to allow the magic happen every Super Saturday all season long. If every family could fill a sponsorship card it would be very much appreciate. Queries - Donagh O'Shaughnessy
