TGFC World Cup Fun Day - Saturday 5th July

The big day is almost here. As is now traditional we will be ending the season with the World Famous TGFC World Cup Day.

It's the chance for Dads to show the boys how good they are on the football field. "Not very" based on the last couple of year's evidence!

And this year we have the first ever Mums v Dads rounders match in which us Dads will prove that when it comes to sport we are the best! Now Ladies, there's a challenge for you.

We start at 10am prompt. If you arrive late you will not be selected for a team so please be on time.

There will be plenty of food and drink available to purchase - breakfast rolls from 1030, a lunchtime bbq and another bbq in the evening.

It promises to be a great day so be there or miss out on all the fun!

Presentation - the best ever!

What an event! The Presentation set new standards this year with some fantastic trophies, an extended DVD show and to top it all the brilliant and hilarious auction run by Lee and Thamesetta!!

Our thanks to Lee and Dave for their hard work and the superb and unbelieveable donation at the end. Also, a big thank you to Roger Gull for his fantastic generosity.

And to everyone else who parted with their hard earned cash we say a big thank you. The money raised will be put to very good use next season.

For those of you who are keen to purchase a club DVD please see the News item from David in Latest Club News.

We hope you all enjoyed the event and look forward to an even better one next year - now there's a challenge!

Hemsby weekend a great success!

What a weekend. The boys played some excellent football against some very good teams and were an absolute credit to the club both on and off the field.

The standard of football was high but both teams competed and picked up wins along the way.

TGFC would like to say a big thank you to all our excellent players - we are very proud of the way you represented the club throughout the whole weekend.

Our thanks also to the Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation for their generous grant which made it all possible and to Tracy O'Shea for her hard work on our application.

We would also like to thank all the parents and family members who were able to come along. We know you all enjoyed the weekend and it was great to spend some time with great friends.

U13s Promoted, U12s finish third!

The u13s clinched runners up spot and promotion to the Premier Division with a superb performance away to Brandon Groves in their final match. Goals from Berry, Wells, Dibble, Cole (2) and Man of the Match Baker capped a great display.

The u12s ended with a 2-2 draw with LTD that effectively gave Stanford the title. Goals from Muller and Hards had turned the game around but a late equaliser meant the points were shared.

It was a fantastic league season for both teams and all our boys can be proud of their achievements.
