Spen Valley Schools Football Festival

 
 
The FA Cup dropped in to Roberttown on Tuesday as a treat for the hundreds of boys and girls who enjoyed a special Football Festival at the Spen Valley Sports College
 
L-R:  Jim Taylor, Jon Worthington, T-Shirts To Go Director Simon Parry, Danny Cadamarteri and players with the FA Cup
The event was organised by the Schools Sports Partnership and the West Riding County FA
 
Sheffield United and ex-Everton player Danny Cadamarteri and Huddersfield Towns Jonathan Worthington kindly gave up their time to present medals and trophies at the Festival which started at 9.30am and went on until 5.00pm
 
Danny grew up and went to school in the Spen Valley and is always keen to help any of the schools in the area
 
All the players wore special Spen Valley Schools shirts donated by T-Shirts To Go of Wakefield
