HUNDREDS of people from the local community converged on the Valley Stadium on Sunday for a day of fun and football.
Under 12's Keepy Ups
The youngsters, members of Redditch United’s 15 junior sides, took part in soccer tournaments and competitions including
a crossbar challenge and keepie uppie competition.
There was a bouncy castle and giant sumo suits to add to the fun along with a raffle and free pork baps and beefburgers.
Sallie Swan and Friends
The day was the idea of the club’s new vice-chairman, Sallie Swan, as a way of thanking the youngsters and their parents for their support of the Reds during the season.
Event organiser Claire Lane, secretary of the club’s youth section, said the day was a roaring success.
“We had nearly 500 players and families come along and take part in the various competitions,” she said.
“It was a marvellous day, enjoyed by everyone. We had matches going on throughout the morning with the individual challenges in the afternoon.
“We even had a fire engine down at the ground which was a real winner with the kids.”
