Few actions shots from last months presentation where we had bouncy castles, slides, face painting, tattoos and cake stalls!

Creating memories as well as aiming to give the best possible start to children’s football journeys 💙⚽️

Delighted that two of our Rishton United FC long standing committee members have been nominated for awards at this years Active Hyndburn Awards.

Liz Bell - the person who does everything behind the scenes. Books winter training, organises EVERYTHING at all of our big events such as the Christmas party and end of season presentation.

Dave Campbell - someone who has been there and done it all with Rishton United, and in most recent years been secretary of the club. He’s also been a massive part of coach Adam’s footballing journey taking him from the nippers right through to adult football ⚽️

Well done to both for the nomination - we hope you get the win that you both fully deserve 💙⚽️
