Netherbury Players are carrying out a series of Sporting Endeavours - Runs, Cycles and Swims - split over different events and between all the players and officials.

We are doing this to raise money to help re-build our changing rooms after our arson and vandalism attacks last year.

We also need a new kit that they used as firelighters and general equipment to provide continued football for two Amateur teams at Netherbury Football Club.

WHAT ARE WE DOING IT ALL FOR?

In February our changing rooms and tea hut were vandalised and set on fire. The local community helped us raise enough money and kind donations allowed us to get them back up to a useable standard. Its left us struggling to pay for everything to keep our two teams running. So we all decided to try to do something to prove how much it means to us to keep this local team up and running. Its not just Netherbury who benefit if we can improve our facilities. It will be the local community and Waytown Hounds FC as well.

We have already progressed from this:

To this:

But need to add insulation and a new roof.

We also need to replace the kit that was set on fire and new balls, medical kits etc. All of which are not possible with Match fees and registration fees alone.

We provide facilities for football for over 45 players and would really appreciate any help you could offer towards our goals. We will also be putting on race nights and hope that eventually we can expand our facilities for all.

Thank-you.
