Other Information:

Our summer five-a-side tournament – in partnership with Cambourne Town FC – is the first of its kind in Cambridgeshire, supported by the Cambs FA.

We’ve had a lot of interest from around the area. Some teams are brand new and have been formed by groups of friends so that they can participate.

We welcome businesses to join us in this landmark event by becoming one of our sponsors. Your support will help this tournament kickstart more women’s vets football around the region.
