Prees Vets teamAston Team, the oppositionPrees Vets Team


In March 2011 Prees  Vets team travelled to Chinnor in Oxfordshire for a friendly against Aston FC. Prees put in a creditable performance but lost 4 - 1.

Compensation was a great evening laid on by our hosts which included watching the England - Ireland rugby on the big screen followed by a quiz and supper. Unfortunately there were one or two slightly fragile heads next morning.


 

Kids live Wembley Dream

The Wembley dream came true for Prees FC in August 2008 as they were given the chance to play on the hallowed turf of Wembley as part of The FA / McDonald's National Football Festival.

Fabio Capello and Sir Geoff Hurst look on
The afternoon was made even more special for the 900 youngsters as Fabio Capello was there to take a look at the action as well as The Three Lions Manager, England legend Sir Geoff Hurst, who was there in his position as the McDonald's Director of Football. The boys and girls, who all play Mini-Soccer in the under-10s age group, were taking part in the Festival which is just one part of McDonald's commitment to Grassroots Football in their role as The FA's Community Partner.
McDonald's have organised more than 50 free regional Football Festivals this Summer involving over 20,000 kids, with the top teams getting their chance at Wembley this week.
After a morning of competition at nearby Northwick Park with expert coaching from former Manchester United youth team coach Eric Harrison, the teams from all corners of the land headed to Wembley where their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was waiting.
Team pose in front of the 1966 world cup team and Bobby Moore statueSir Geoff more than most, knows the honour in playing at Wembley having scored a hat-trick in the 1966 World Cup Final as England beat West Germany and he was delighted to see so many children relish their chance.
"Today is really the culmination of the 50 football festivals we have throughout the UK and teams from each of those are here for the unbelievable opportunity of playing here at Wembley," Sir Geoff explained.
"I've been involved with the coaching programme for six or seven years now, we've got 13,000 coaches out there delivering probably two million hours worth of coaching and it's something we didn;t have six or seven years ago. The programme has been an unprecedented success.
Prees FC were chosen by Shropshire FA to represent the County as they hosted the Shropshire Charter Standard Festival. Managers Kevin Evans and Sean Kinsella spoke of the day:- " A fantastic experience, one which will never be forgotten! Going into actionSuperb performance by the whole team, the players, Mums and Dads, Grans and Grandads and all the helpers and supporters who came with us . An absolute credit to themselves and testament to the work put in by The Shropshire FA.
Our thanks go to them all plus our sponsors : Ray Grocott of Gro Continental, Manheim Motor Auctions and National Westminster Bank!"
