Fun Day in the Sun!
The weather was kind to us again this year as the Club came together at Seaview last Saturday for the annual, end-of-season Fun Day and presentation of trophies.
Teams played short matches against each other, with the Under 12s boys' teams competing for the Bailey Yanik memorial trophy. Some teams held penalty shoot-out competitions before being presented with squad and individual trophies.
Before presentation of the annual volunteer awards, Chair of Trustees, Tim Elgar, gave an update on the progress being made with the new ground. Club chairman, Andy Davidson, then presented the Adam Bowey (volunteer of the year) shield to Toby Elgar for all of the hard work he has contributed to the Club as a coach, a trustee, and in his role as leader of the Youth Council.
The Manager of the Year trophy went to Adrian Olson and his assistant, Paul Harrison, whose Under 16s Colts team finished top of the EKYL Division 3 after an unbeaten season.
Under 16s coach Jason Tongue received the Chairman's special award in recognition of the huge amount of work he has put in for the Club in various roles including head of fundraising and club trustee.
Parent volunteers worked hard during the day, serving refreshments (barbecue, drinks and cake stall). Other attractions included a bouncy castle, coconut shy, "barrow of booze", speed gun challenge and foot darts. Thanks also goes to all of the TFC coaches and other volunteers who gave their time to help setting everything up for the event and clearing away at the end of a memorable day.
All together the day raised £1,250 towards Club funds.
