Metheringham Football Club - Season Preview

Yet another season is under way for Metheringham Football Club. The club is one of the oldest in the county having been formed around 1885. Then there was just one team but now we have a multitude of sides for all age groups from Under 7 right up to four senior sides (one on a Saturday and three on Sundays). If anyone is looking for a team for their youngsters to play for or for themselves we are always looking for players so get in touch with Secretary Pete Ford (01526) 320016. He will direct you to one of our team managers.
Over the next nine months you can be assured of a football match on the village sports field at some age group or other every Sunday, so instead of sitting by the fire, get out and get some fresh air and give support to your village teams. you might just enjoy it.
On the fund-raising front the Club will be holding a Race Night in the Star and Garter on Friday 26th October (starting around 8.30 pm). This is in conjunction with the Village Hall, who need funding to keep on top of continual expense which they are faced with. so get yourselves down there as we would like to see as many people there as possible to swell the funds for both organisations.
Looking to future, but not yet confirmed, the Club is trying to set up a Charity Football Match with the cast of Emmerdale. If this comes off we hope to arrange it for our Fun Day which will be towards the end of May 2008. Last years Fun Day proved a great success considering it was arranged at short notice when insufficient teams entered our Junior Six-A-Side competition. There were mini soccer games, a variety of side stalls, bouncy castle, games of skill, a bar and even a fly-past by the Battle of Britain’s Memorial Flights - Spitfire - which was truly spectacular.
If an other organisation would be interested in joining us in this venture to make it into a regular Village Event please contact Club Secretary Pete Ford (01526 320016)
