Ashby United Community Football Club held its second annual awards day earlier this month at Ashby Hastings Cricket Club - with around 1,000 people involved.

During the day there were awards presentations for all of the junior teams for the 2021-22 season.

All players received an award in recognition of their hard work this season.

Over the course of the day the club estimated almost 1,000 people attended the awards to celebrate the first post-Covid season the club has had.

The club was formed two years ago during the lockdown months.

Suzanne Windridge Chair of the club said: "We ran 17 teams this season ranging from under 7s to Vets - all our teams did fantastically well.

"We are now looking forward to our third full season as a club with numerous new teams to add, including a new Saturday Senior team and three new under-7s teams.

"Also we would like to say a big thank you to Ashby Hastings Cricket Club for allowing us to use their facilities and make our annual awards a very special day."
