This coming weekend (June 23 and 24) it is the second Ottery St Mary Football Club Youth Tournament.

Last year’s inaugural event was a huge success and, based on the teams that have booked to play this year, the second tournament looks set to be even better!

The car parking is ‘on site’ and open from 8am on both days with registration of teams taking place from 8.30am to 9.30am with play getting underway both on Saturday and Sunday at 10am.

On the Saturday the spotlight falls on the Under-7s, 9s, 11s and 13s and the following day it’s the turn of the Under-8s, 10s, 12s and 14s.

The club do wish to emphasise that, on event days such as these two days, the Washbrook Meadow site is a ‘no dogs allowed’ zone.

As well as the football there are plenty of other things going on with the club having a bouncy castle, a barbecue sizzling all day, a sweet stall, hot and cold drinks and the bar will be open from noon on both days.

Spectators are always made very welcome by the club and, with the added attraction of the in-club big screen TV showing World Cup matches, it looks as if Washbrook Meadow may well be the place to be this weekend.
