The Wednesfield Challenge Cup is a new competition which will take place at Wednesfield Park (St George V Playing Fields) at the end of August.

Exact dates are still to be confirmed but hopefully the tournament will be played over one or two weekends, depending on the amount of teams that enter.

Each player pays £5 to enter in a five-a-side team with 2 subs. The winning team will take home all of this money. For example: If 10 teams enter = 70 people = £300 for the winning team.

We are not sure how many teams we will get for this yet, but just wanted to try out for a bit of a laugh. If you want to join us please visit our Facebook page and click on “attending” and then leave a message with your team name and members and we will add it to the list.

WOLVERHAMPTON police officers have been getting on-side with local youngsters through a community football tournament.

The event, which took place on Saturday 13 March, was organised by officers from the Ashmore Park neighbourhood police team, the Local Neighbourhood Partnership (LNP) and Wolverhampton City Council Youth Services.

Youngsters from Ashmore Park and Long Knowle youth clubs played games against Wolverhampton Police and West Midlands Fire Service. Each member of the team then received a trophy for taking part.

The aim of the tournament was to build relationships between young people and the police.

Sergeant Tracey Baker, from Ashmore Park neighbourhood police team, said: “This is the third year we have organised a match between young people and the police and we are very pleased to have the fire service involved this year too.

“This kind of event is really important because it helps us build positive relationships with the local community. It allows young people to see their neighbourhood officers in a different light – out of uniform and in a more relaxed setting.”

Cas Simpson, Area Youth Manager for Wolverhampton City Council said: “It’s all about building positive links between young people and the police. The young people all really enjoyed it.”

Mitch Fammond was in fine form for Wednesfield, scoring four goals in a 5-2 win at Ledbury.

Stuart Skitt gave Wednesfield the lead with a penalty on 33 minutes before Fammond got his first, two minutes later.

Dorian Colling got a goal back for Ledbury before being sent off on 54 minutes after a penalty area incident.

Fammond made it 3-1 before Ledbury sub David Accam got a goal back.

But two late goals from Fammond completed the win for Wednesfield.

Mark Swann, Mitchell Fellows and John Griffiths had put the visitors in pole position but Ludlow stole the points with second half strikes from Nathan Hodge (two) and Stuart Corns to add to Gareth Hamer’s early effort.
