School festival a success
Cumberland FA and Carlisle United Football in the Community teamed up again this week to deliver the second schools festival of the year on Tuesday 5 February 2013.
‘The James Rennie Football Challenge’, part of the CUFC Pan Disability Football Festival programme was held at the Sands Centre, with sixteen teams coming together from nine schools across the county to enjoy the football.
The morning kicked off with over 90 players taking part in both 5v5 and 4v4 indoor football. The atmosphere was electric in the sports hall with plenty of fixtures taking place, and to make the day extra special United captain Lee Miller and scorer of a recent wonder goal David Symington dropped by to chat to the teams.
The Next Pan-Disability School event and England Talent Day will take place on Tuesday 23rd April 2013 at Caldew School, Dalston. To find out more about our England Talent Day, or any other Disability Football programme, please visit www.CumberlandFA.Com.
