16 teams from across Nottinghamshire have signed up to take part in an end of season tournament being planned by Carlton Town manager Tommy Brookbanks to help give local sides a lift after lockdown.
Mr Brookbanks believes that the event can offer a financial and mental lift to lower league teams ‘who need it now more than ever’.
His tournament plan would see a number of Notts teams form two competitive leagues and play each other during the spring.
The following teams have confirmed they would take part in the tournament if plans get the go ahead…
Basford United
Ilkeston Town
Gresley Rovers
Dunkirk FC,
Rainworth MW,
Gedling MW,
Eastwood CFC,
Hucknall Town,
Radford Fc,
Southwell City,
Clipstone FC,
Linby Colliery FC,
Kimberley MW,
Awsworth Villa FC,
and Blidworth Welfare FC.
Chairman of the proposed tournament, Dick Durant has been working hard with Tommy to finalise the 16 teams who will be seeded to determine two equally balanced leagues.
City Couriers Direct have agreed to sponsor the event.
Admission for all games will be £5 Adults, £3 concessions and £1 for Children and the final and a proposed separate presentation will take place at Carlton Town if the tournament goes ahead.
