🏆A brilliant evening on Saturday for our first awards night. Congratulations to all who received an award. But the main goal of the evening was not to award individuals on their efforts, it was to come together and celebrate as a team. And that’s just what we did. It was a great opportunity to socialise together with family and friends. Thank you to all who attended and made this evening work.

🏆This evening, the Veterans will be holding their first end of season award nights. The project started in February 2024 and was set up for military veterans to come together and rediscover that lost camaraderie when leaving the forces. Over the last 15 months or so, we have grown to around 40 participants and average 18 per week. With this, we decided to join the FA’s North West Military Veterans League, where we finished a respectable 3rd place in our maiden season. Along the way, we have participated in numerous tournaments and friendly games and continue to grow.

Tonight, we come together to celebrate a successful first year since forming, but also to say thank you to all the veterans that make this project work. We look forward to seeing you all later on. Details of the event can be found in the below image and all are welcome to attend.
