On Thursday 9th May 2019 around 5:00am, we received a phone call from a member of the public informing us that the fire service were located at our clubhouse as it had been set alight.

The fire service did an excellent job of minimising the fire and damage that could have been caused from this however numerous kits and equipment that was not directly burned from the heat has been affected through smoke and water damage.

It was determined by the fire service that this had been set alight deliberately from one corner of the roof and had caused significant damage to one of our changing rooms within the building.

In addition to numerous businesses offering their trade support; ASDA, Tesco & Morrisons providing donations in the form of refreshments for our volunteers & Forest Gate Corby contributing a £500 donation, we are looking to raise additional funds to ensure that the repair works can commence and any kits and equipment that are smoke and/or water damaged can be replaced in time for next season starting in September.

We are a youth football club based in Corby, Northamptonshire who cater for over 300 players between the ages of four and eighteen. Every single person who contributes to the club does so in a voluntary basis with no pay - meaning that they take time out of their own lives to ensure that children in Corby and the surrounding areas can play football.
