Today, I was a guest at the annual six-a-side competition held by Grove Challengers at the Recreational Ground. In fact, this year is special because the club was founded in 1971 and it is therefore its 40th anniversary.
The tournament itself is held over two days - Saturday and Sunday - with teams ranging from U7s to U16s. It attracted 160 teams with over 1,000 participants. It is obviously a huge undertaking and the club is to be congratulated for organising the event so successfully. Looking back to last year, I see that the event was being held the same time as the World Cup and I see that I also blogged about the tournament in 2009 and 2010 - so it is really established as a regular fixture in the village.
Anyway, here's to the next 40 years and many new generations of Grove footballers.
