Football tournament achieves its goal

The first Broadacres football tournament organised in conjunction with Hambleton District Council and Aareon has proved to be a striking success.

A total of 10 teams, representing Broadacres, HARCAS (Hambleton and Richmondshire Community Addiction Service), Thirsk Clock, Stokesley Community Youth Team, Yorkshire Housing, Foundation Housing and Netconstruct, competed in two groups of 6-a-side teams at Hambleton District Council’s Outdoor Floodlit pitches on Saturday 28 February.

A hard fought final saw HARCAS emerge victorious lifting the trophy after a very impressive series of performances. The overall spirit of the tournament was summed up by a comment made by one of the event referees. “The games were highly competitive and although it was heated at times all the players and teams deserve credit for the approach they took towards the matches, the manner in which the games were played out and for the spirit in which they entered into the competition”.

Simon Hunter, one of the event organiser’s said “This event brought people together in a very positive way. It promoted a sense of teamwork, fun and everyone played their part in making the event both enjoyable and successful”.

Well done to HARCAS and thanks to all that played a part in organising the event and to everyone that took part.

The winning team, HARCAS.
