Freeland FC hosted their 51st annual Witney and District 6 a side tournament on August 1st.
28 teams entered, totalling some 224 players involved.
The day was very wet but this didnt put people off and a very good day was had by all.
Freeland were the eventual winners of the George Hazell Trophy.
The club laid on a licensed bar and BBQ that ran throughout the day as well as a raffle, guess the number of sweets in the jar and a spot the ball competition.
On Sunday 2nd August we held our 1st Oxford Senior league 6 a side tournament. 24 teams from the Oxford area entered with around 190 players taking part. The tournament was played in glorious sunshine and Riverside where the winners of the first O & O Electrical Cup.
Thank you to all the referees that gave up their weekend to referee both tournaments. It is appreciated not only by Freeland FC but all those that take part in the weekend event.
I would like on behalf of Freeland FC to thank all those that helped to make the both events so successful. Without the help from club members, friends and family Freeland FC would not be as successful as it when it comes to organising and running these type of events.
Special thanks to Steve OHara who spends many hours configuring the competition.
A big thanks to Don and Sue from the Oxfordshire Yeoman. They contributed to the food and refreshment for both days. Please be sure to use the pub and support them as they have us. Also thanks to Jon Langford and Michelle Hicks for all their running round gathering supplies for the event.
