It is the Manchester Festival on Sunday 18th October, all squad players need to be at the cub by 10:30 to warm up for our first game at 11:00.
Unlike the Stockport Festival the Manchester Festival will be a "League then Knock Out" competition so the number of matches we play will be dependent on how successful we are, the coaches will try to ensure all players get as much match time as possible while maintaining a strong team to try and ensure we progress in the competition, the better we play the more match time we will get.
At the Manchester Festival there will not be player lunches provided. There will be a barbecue and other stalls where you can buy food, could parents please ensure players have sufficient food and snacks and plenty of drinks as well as waterproofs and warm clothing.
There will be parking for the festival charged at £5 per car or if walking an entry fee of £2 per adult.
We currently have over twenty five players in the U11 age group, throughout the season the coaches will en devour to ensure all players get the chance to play in competitive matches.
