A charity soccer match – which traditionally takes place in Ruddington every Boxing Day – returns this year.
After being cancelled by COVID-19 last Christmas, spectators are warmly welcomed back to Elms Park on December 26th 2021 at 11am for what promises to be a feast of family fun and football. The game is being run by Ruddington Village Colts Football Club – which is benefittng from the proceeds this year. This time the match is between Coaches & Parents and Current Players. The plan is that it will be played on the ‘slope pitch’ with kick-off at 11am.
Coach of the U11’s Saturday team, Lewis Vaughan-Jones, says: “It would be great to see lots of supporters for this game. We’re wanting to become a bigger part of the community and we’d like to connect with more people in the village. It’ll be a really good couple of hours watching (and of course laughing!) at some local football. It’s a really friendly environment, with refreshments available at the clubhouse throughout the game. We hope to see as many people/families as possible. It’s a fantastic, yearly, community event.”
Manager of the U13 Girls Sunday squad, Adam Brown, who has organised the Coaches and Parents team, adds: “It’s a nice day out to support a local club raising money for local charities.”
