Press Release Tuesday 31 October 2006

Footballers in Yaxley were celebrating today following a £257,221 award to Yaxley Parish Council by the Football Foundation, the

’s largest sports charity.

The cash bonanza will allow the Council, along with their many supporters, the largest being Yaxley Football Club and Woodston Dynamo Colts Football Club, to develop football and sports facilities for the village and surrounding areas.

The Football Foundation is dedicated to revitalising the grass roots of the game, constructing modern football facilities, developing football as a force for social cohesion and as a vehicle for education in communities throughout the country. Funded by the FA Premier League, The Football Association, Sport England and the Government, the Football Foundation is the nation’s largest sports charity with a £45m budget going straight into the heart of football.

“We warmly congratulate Yaxley Parish Council for their hard work and dedication in securing this award. I also would like to acknowledge the important role of the Huntingdonshire FA and the Huntingdonshire Local Football Partnership in making this happen.

“This development will be a massive boost for sport in the area and I am delighted that the Football Foundation is supporting the project.”

“The members of the Council started their efforts to obtain this site for sports development in February 1990 and it has been a long and difficult task. We are very grateful for this large sum of money which will meet 50% of the cost of the pavilion and car park and is the last piece of the jigsaw. We are hoping for this facility to be up and running for September 2007.

“We thank the Football Foundation, Huntingdonshire Football Association, partners and Parish Councillors past and present who have given their free time to achieve this very exciting result.”
