   Ordsall 7-A-Side Tournament
Reporter: Tom Rodgers
The first ever Ordsall Football Cup will be held on Sunday 19th October at the Fit City Ordsall sports centre, on Craven Drive, from 10am until 4.30pm, with all proceeds going to charity. Players will pay just £2 for the chance to become Salford’s newest soccer star at the event. Marie Leather, Area Manager for Fit City Ordsall, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to encourage the local community to be more active and this event promises to be a great way to keep fit and have fun at the same time.” A total of 16 seven-a-side teams of both men and women are needed to battle it out for the coveted Ordsall Cup in the inaugural competition. LPC are sponsoring the event, and their Development Director Simon Ashdown said: “With arguably two of the biggest football clubs in the world right on our doorstep we know that there is plenty of passion for the sport in the area. "We hope to see plenty of local football fans showing us their skills on the pitch, but the emphasis is definitely on fun. We are keen to help bring the community even closer together through both physical and social regeneration and we hope that events like this will prove to be a success year after year.” The Ordsall Cup tournament is open to everyone over the age of 18 and anyone who wishes to register their team should contact Brett Allen on 07790 906521 or email ordsallcup@gmail.com.
