On Saturday 26^th March Cirencester Town Football Club ran a Football in the Community Fun Day. Two local schools, Chesterton Primary School and Powell’s Church of England Primary School were invited to the Corinium Stadium for some coaching and then a game against each other.

First team players Mark Draycott and Justyn McKay gave up their time to spend an hour coaching each School team on a variety of aspects of the game including control, passing, crossing and shooting. Following this the Schools took to the pitch to play a friendly game against each other. The game was played in right spirit and in a close fought contest Chesterton edged out Powell’s 2-1 with everybody putting in a lot of effort.

 

After the game the children were then treated to a pre match meal before lining up to act as match day mascots for the first team fixture against Weymouth in the Zamaretto Premier Division which Cirencester went on to win 3-0. The children watched the game and were very vocal in their support of the Cirencester team and thoroughly enjoyed their day.

 

Organiser Steve Hale said “It was a great day all-round, the weather was good and the children not only put a great deal of effort into both the coaching and the game, their behaviour throughout the day was a credit to the children themselves, their school and their parents. I would like to thank my two coaches Mark Draycott and Justyn McKay who gave up their free time to coach the children and did a fantastic job. I would also like to thank Mark O’Brien who arranged all the food for the children. This is definitely a venture we would like to repeat in the future as we would like to get more involved with Schools in the area and the Community in general.”
