And the Trophy goes to...

TPFC were finally presented with thier Sportsman and Behaviour League Winners Trophy on Sunday 6th July in front of the congregation at Tollington Park Baptist Church.

The Family Service that took place saw Ian, John and Samuel reflect on our season past and praise God for his blessing upon the team.

Nish (representing the NELECL) was present to present the trophy, and he also shared his remarkable testimony with the church and how Tollington Park Baptist Church played a role in this also, not to mention the long term results of changing his name to Steve!

Several members of the squad - and our ever loyal following of Nat, Kez & Sonia - were also able to be there in a show of club unity and it was said by Samuel (paraphasing!) - and long may it continue - that we are more than just a football team, we made up of individuals that that have done all they can for one another from the start, when we didn't even know each other!
