Robin Hood Knockout Outdoor 5-a-side Football Competitions 2008
29th Apr 2008 by Keith Vinerd
On Saturday, 26th April 2008 the Nottingham Battalion again arranged and hosted national outdoor 5-a-side Football Competitions at the Powerleague Soccer Centre in Nottingham for members of The Boys' Brigade.
Following an initial entry of 33 teams from Ireland and England, 27 teams actually took part in the Competition. The Sheriff of Nottingham, Councillor Jeannie Packer, visited and presented the prizes.
There were trophies, individual medals and prizes. This event and the one in 2007 were funded with help towards the cost of prizes from The Co-operative Group's Community Dividend Fund and in addition this year The Rotary Club of Wollaton Park kindly made a grant and the local branch of Sainsbury's Supermarkets plc helped towards the catering costs.
Congratulations go to all those who took part in a splendid day. The 25th and 39th Nottingham Companies did the catering and the 44th Nottingham Company based at Clifton Methodist Church provided overnight accommodation on the Friday for the teams from Torquay and Lancashire.
