Player visits:

This month both Liam Hogan and Dan Gardner paid a visit to our OACT school partner OASIS Limeside! The players spent time talking to the school football team about their experiences in a football team and provided some great advice about their teamwork and leadership.

Dan Ward also made an appearance at another one of our OACT school partners, Hey with zion, where he spoke to some year 4 pupils about his career, lifestyle and aspirations.

Kurt Willoughby and Mark Shelton also visited Mills Hill school this month where they both had a great time talking to the pupils and spent time answering questions from Year 5 and 6.

PL Primary Stars:

This month we welcomed children from Woodlands Primary school, Greenacres Primary school, St Pauls Primary School, Firbank Primary school, Royton Hall Primary school, Whitegate End Primary school and Hodgeclough Primary school to take part in our PL Primary Stars tournament.

We welcomed year 3&4 Boys from the 7 primary schools to take part in a tournament where there was some fantastic football on show and even more memories made.
