Our annual "Hope For Grace" charity football game took place on Sunday 18th May 2025, here at Stanway Rovers Football Club.
And what an afternoon it was. We had:
Big Dog Ballin on the decks - and what a fantastic party atmosphere we had
The Essex Flames Cheerleading and Dancing squad, who shared their lovely skills and choreography - including high high jumps
Face painting from Tippy-Toes Faces, Face Painter & Body Glitter Artist - Essex
A lovely selection of cakes and other treats to eat, supplied by Ellwoods Cakes
Matty Max Maintenance Man and his bouncy castle
Fantastic BBQ food, brough to us, and cooked for us, by Willshers Whole Hog (A. Willsher & Son)
Ice creams from Whippy Bros
The beautiful Emma Louise Nicholls, who sang us through a lovely Sunday evening in the sunshine!
And, of course - the football match! Karl Duguid's Colchester Utd Legends formed up once again and took on The Hope for Grace FC team, with the Colchester United Legends coming out as eventual 3 : 2 victors.
And the best news of all - a massive £8,388.35 was raised!!
