Chief Executive of the Doncaster Rovers Foundation, Liam Scully urged sides not to miss out on a “significant event” which enhances the Clubs “pride” at working with the local community.
The aim is to have 10 teams per age group consisting of 7 players who will play a total of 9 games. Details for the format will be sent once teams have signed up.
This is the first of many events the Rovers Community Team are launching with the development of a Club Ambassador Scheme aimed to help local amateur clubs: raise funds, attract new players, develop local school links and offer continuous professional development for coaches.
The closing date for entries will be Wednesday 9th July.
Join us in the fight to combat prostate cancer as well raise much needed awareness.
