We’re back again! 
  
After a truly successful tournament in 2011, and pressure from members to repeat in the 2012 calendar, we are now able to offer members the opportunity to play on the hallowed ground of St Mary’s Football Club.  Have you ever had a dream to play football on a professional football pitch and walk down the player’s tunnel - well here’s your chance.   All matches will be umpired by FA match officials, we will also be using official match balls and have the use of the professional players facilities.
 
The Saint’s Foundation has again agreed to marshal the day for us.   Beverages will be available for purchase on the day for both players and spectators.   Trophy presentations will follow a two course late lunch, included in the price.

To name drop  a few, King George V, Russian Royalty, J J Sainsbury, Churchill and General Eisenhower during the history of the building have all visited Balmer Lawn.   The building was also commandeered during both World Wars as a field hospital during World War One and an Army Staff College during the Second World War.
