BASINGSTOKE Strikers Disabled Adults Football are hosting their first ever football tournament at the War Memorial Park on Sunday, August 7 (10am to 4pm).

It is being billed as a fun day for all the family, with plenty going on for all ages. There will be side stalls, a fire engine as well as refreshments and food available.

The tournament will see the debut of Strikers’ new kit which has be bought from a £1,000 sponsorship deal with P B Edwards Plastering and Dry Lining Ltd, who are based at Champion House in Roentgen Road.

The trophy on the day has been named after the company and standing in the way of the Basingstoke Strikers' winning it, will be teams from Bournemouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, Woking and Feltham.

Strikers’ head coach Eddie Matthews said: “We cannot thank PB Edwards enough for sponsoring our new kit and the boys are really excited and looking forward to hosting their own tournament.

“They are training hard and hoping lots of people come down to enjoy the fun. We want it to be a real family day not just about the football.”

There will be three seven-a-side pitches in operation on the day. Around all three pitches will be advertising hoardings and a number of local businesses have already signed up to feature on these.

They are available at a cost of £150 and will see the company displayed across three separate hoardings.

All companies who sponsor the event will also feature in the event programme.

Any company that is interested in advertising on the hoardings can do so by contacting head coach Matthews on his mobile phone on 07899 043375 or by email on eddiematthews2909@icloud.com
