About the day

This is an annual event, now in its 10th year. Starting at 11am with the registration of the Under 14 'Junior' teams, the event continues with free indoor activities and refreshments in the Hockey Clubhouse, a barbecue and outdoor Gladiator duelling. The winning football teams will be playing for the Riverside Community Cup (Juniors) and the James McMahon Cup (Seniors). Medals will also be awarded to the winners at a presentation ceremony. Manned by volunteers and wholly funded by Newbury YMCA, the event makes for a very friendly, community day.
