Play on the Pitch.

Renamed in memory of John Hawksworth, a stalwart member who passed this day 2nd August 2020. RIP Mr Monkeybutt.

Sadly we must add the name of Kevin Minton, Aka Mr Ripper who passed 30/6/22. Kev was also Mr politically incorrect but a nicer lad you could never meet.

Play on the Pitch.

Chance to play at the Vic. before they rip the pitch up, £650, a bit expensive ?
Didn’t schools used to play some of the local Finals at the Vic. ?

Yes, back in the late 50's & early 60's the schools played their finals at the Vic.

Brilliant photo of the ground for the article on the Official Site. Was that the night a drone was spotted?

650 a slot aint bad divided by 22 lads. with 12 slots only available its under 300 lads having a chance to play at the vic. the hardest thing would be people having to organise teams just to play the games. just wish i was a bit younger to fulfill a lifetimes ambition that i,ll never realise. my lad played at edgeley park in a charity game against ex stockport players and that cost about 100 for his experiance.
