The principle aim of the day is for as many local teams to get involved to give as many local players as possible the opportunity to take part and to enjoy the day.

One of Gary's great attributes was the time he gave up to provide opportunity for local children to play the game, regardless of their ability, encompassing the spirit of the Junior League to provide football for all.

On the day there will be tournaments at Under 7s, Under 9s, Under 11s, Under 13s, Under 15s and Under 17s.

The festival will also raise money for Kids Cancer Charity, formerly known as Christian Lewis Trust.

All are welcome to attend and enjoy the day.
