The CCG & Saints Southwest Charity Football Tournament held on a sunny day in the heart of the South West, brought together football enthusiasts, young and old, in a remarkable display of unity and competition.  

The event, which drew over 160 players from across the region, proved to be an astounding success, both on the field and off it, raising an impressive £9,691.67 for the ELF.

Gary Moore, Development Manager at ELF, was ecstatic about the outcome. He said: "I cannot stress how vast this amount is for a small local charity, so everyone should be incredibly proud of their achievements. Thank you all for your hard work!"

Teams from local businesses and football clubs gave their all, displaying not just their love for the game but also their commitment to helping those in need.

Rob Clements, Director of CCG Decorators, one of the event's key sponsors, expressed his gratitude for the success of the tournament. He stated: "The support from our community was beyond our expectations. It's inspiring to see how our passion for football can make such a significant impact on charitable causes."

Mark Titchard, Director of Saints Southwest, summed up the essence of this incredible tournament, saying, "Football has an incredible power to bring people together. This event has demonstrated that beautifully. We're excited to keep the tradition going, bringing our community together to make a real difference."
