The Felixstowe Area (FA) Cup will be up for grabs again on
Sunday, August 20 when five-a-side teams from all over Suffolk
Coastal will be battling it out at the Coronation Sports Ground,
Felixstowe.
The tournament, organised by Suffolk Coastal’s Active Leisure
team, will be split into three age groups – under 11, under 13 and
under 16.
“This popular competition is now a regular event in our
programme of summer activities with teams entering from all over
the district,” said Councillor Rae Leighton, Cabinet Member for
Community Well-being.
“With the chance of winning trophies and medals as well as the
prized cup, we would like even more teams to enter this year and
make this the top football event for the youngsters in our
district,” added Councillor Leighton.
The tournament is open to all abilities and kick off will be at
10.30am. The cost of entering is £2 per person to be paid in
advance. Each team must have a minimum of five players and a
maximum of seven players.
This year’s festival of football should also attract bigger than
ever crowds as the park will also be hosting the second Quality of
Life event, backed by the Suffolk Coastal Local Strategic
Partnership, and aimed at offering helpful advice to all sections
of the community.
