Scotter United Junior Football Club Annual Invitational Tournament – June 14th 2025

Last year there were issues with the playing field area near the Village Hall, as due to heavy rain on the day on top of already soaked ground, many vehicles got stuck leaving the site, which damaged the area.

This was repaired by the club and an army of volunteers, but for 2025 alternative parking areas are being sourced in addition to those used close to the playing fields.

The importance of the tournament cannot be understated  because as well as a chance to showcase the village and teams in a fun and friendly football environment to the wider grassroots community, it’s the biggest fundraising event of the year, allowing the club to keep on top of an ever-increasing cost base and part-fund community projects such as the new pavilion, the use of which now expands far beyond the football club. Additionally, the funds raised ensures investment in the maintenance and upkeep of the War Memorial Playing Fields can continue, for the benefit of all in the village.

It is also important that traffic can flow freely on the main road between Scotter and Scotton during the day.

The concern is that without the above area, there is not enough space to accommodate the number of anticipated vehicles, and the tournament will have to be cancelled, or taken out of the village.
