“Our Youth football section and Academy are the life blood of our community, and massively important to myself and the football club. This run is a great way for everyone to work together to help support these young players of the future.”

- Alan Dowson - 1st Team Manager - HRBFC

It's just over a month to the Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon and there are a variety of ways you can donate or raise funds for the Youth teams and Academy....

With training for the half marathon now fully underway the club and youth section have got multiple ways of donating or raising funds for those putting in the 13 miles on the 18th March.

As well as the crowdfunding page HERE there is now an information pack with a paper sponsorship form that you can take to work, school and get family and friends to donate. You can hand these back to the club or to your team manager.

As well as that there is a range of sports memorabilia which you can purchase with the funds raised being added to the total.

All funds raised are being split 50 / 50 between the 28 Youth Teams and the Academy sides at Beveree. As we have grown as a youth section our costs have naturally gone up and this sort of fundraising will enable us to invest in better facilities for all our members and provide courses for our coaches and players to attend.

Dowse has a message for everyone that you can view on the clubs Facebook page HERE

Finally we're delighted to announce that our Under 13 Knights manager Paul Kinchin has thrown his hat in to the ring and has joined the intrepid band of runners. He'll be picking up the training sessions this week so please give him your support when you see him jogging up and down the touchline at Kingsfield on a Sunday morning.
