Former Premier League, FA Cup Final and Champions League Final referee, Mark Clattenburg, has given his backing to the Bideford community 6 a side football league which is set to kick off.

The Monday league at Bideford College is set to become a real staple of sporting life in the town, as hundreds of players in the area look to start playing again, after months and months of inactivity damaged physical and mental health.

Matches are to kick off in November and the world’s most famous referee is lending his support: “I am delighted to be a part of the Leisure Leagues family, and help their leagues both in the UK and Ireland, throughout the world, and at the extraordinary international tournaments which they organise on a world level”, said Clattenburg.

Now its all systems go and there are just a few spaces left for new teams, but Area Manager Ellis Alleyne was delighted to be kicking off: “It’s fantastic to be able to come to communities like this and get everyone moving again.”

Teams will be competing for big prizes too. The top prize for the winners is a chance to go to Benidorm with the whole team.

In addition Leisure Leagues are the only registered not for profit provider of football, and they have a record of donating to good causes and charities across the country, with Ellis adding: “We are proud to be different, and players across the area already understand this.”
