Grantham Town FC is delighted to announce that the team will be competing in the inaugural South Kesteven Charity Cup competition.

This is a very exciting football event that will take place during the summer.

Local football clubs from within South Kesteven were invited to participate and a guest invitation was extended to Lincoln City FC.

Harrowby Utd will host Grantham Town in one semi final, whilst Bourne Town will play Lincoln City FC Academy. Both games will be played on Saturday, 13 July, with the final played the following Saturday, 20 July.

Coun Ian Selby says: "A lot of effort has gone into this tournament and I'd like to express my thanks to the extremely helpful and enthusiastic members of the Cup Committee that was set up to organise the event.

"We are all looking forward to this and we are excited about the potential benefits that this tournament may have for our local football clubs and local charities."

The tournament aims are to encourage grass roots football, to support our local clubs whilst raising important funds for local charities in the process. Each participating club will nominate a local charity of their choice.

South Kesteven District Council has been very supportive and this event has come about because of the district council's Ward Members Grant scheme and a contribution from Coun Selby's allocated budget.

The Cup Committee are seeking the support of any businesses that may wish to support the tournament with match day or match ball sponsorship or with any other aspect of the event. Please contact Dave on 07980 408366.
