Falmouth Community Youth Football Club was presented with a cheque for £1,000 by Matt Charman from Cornwall Appliances / Euronics last week to help provide the girl's teams with vital funding.

Falmouth Community Youth Football Club coaches young people from the ages of 5 years to 16 years, with most of the younger age group teams being mixed the club also has two girls' teams the Jays and the Finches.

The funding has been very gratefully received by the club and will be spent on new goals for the girls, coaches' qualification, a flag banner, and a girls-only tournament in the spring. 

The tournament will include all the girls in the club from age 6 upwards, playing fun games and competitions with prizes to be won.
