A SALUTE TO THE TROOPS

The following letter was received from Captain Paul Mitchell following yesterdays game between British soldiers, hosted at Station Road and the 3G complex.

Dear Paul, Mark and John,

What can I say? We had a superb day at Hesketh Bank yesterday. I cannot thank you fellas and all of the staff at the 3G complex enough we were looked after from start to finish and I am eternally grateful.

The pitch, surroundings & food were superb and with a 7-1 Semi-Final win and also a great raffle prize we headed back to Preston with spirits soaring!! 

The lads got away to Chilwell to begin their build up for Afghanistan this morning but the 4am start I had was how can I put it? emotional.

I will definitely be in touch with regards trying to play the final at your location but as we all know the weather is the deciding factor.

Either way I will be in touch.

Once again from me, the lads & their families thank you for giving us a great day it was very much appreciated!!

Kind Regards

Paul Mitchell

On behalf of HBAFC we recognise and thank them for their unquestionable bravery and incredible spirit. Thank you, good luck and god speed.

The winners of the area competition then go onto represent this region in the Nationals.

The 4 th Battalion the Duke of Lancaster 's Regiment (4 LANCS) your local Infantry TA Regiment have been drawn against LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY OFFICER TRAINING CORPS (LUOTC) in the semi-final of this year's competition and they have taken up the offer to use Hesketh Bank AFC facilities, this coming Sunday 15 th November 2009 with a 1.30pm Kick off.

In the event of inclement weather the match will take place on the adjacent 3g all weather adjacent surface although confirmation is still to be received from LUOTC that this is acceptable.

Admission to the fixture is free so come down to the Centenary Sports Ground on Station Road, Hesketh Bank and give your support to your local Infantry TA Regiment.
