Nightingale house to benefit from Albion’s Christmas do
Posted by administrator on 18 December 2017
On Sunday the 17th of December players, management and supporters connected to Cefn Albion football club got together for the annual Christmas drink. Following recent charity event successes, this year we decided to use the opportunity to raise some more money for Charity. Nicky Jones, who does no end of fundraising for our club set about organising a pool and darts knockout competition costing £5 to enter with all proceeds kindly being donated towards Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham, North Wales. The response was fantastic with over 40 lads pulling on their Christmas Jumpers and getting involved. During the afternoon we also sold raffle tickets which helped take the final total that we raised to £272. We plan to combine this amount to the money that is raised at the annual Billy Evans and Pauline Griffiths Christmas quiz which takes place at the Cefn Legion at 20:00 on the 25th of December.
This year’s competition winners who claim all the bragging rights for the next 12 months were Nicky Jones and Oliver Davies who claimed the Darts championship and Nicky Jones and Torne Samuels who were crowned pool champions. We must say a massive well done and thank you to everyone who took part and donated raffle prizes, the amount of people that turned up and the effort that was made with Christmas Jumpers made this a fantastic successful day and also epitomises the tight knit community that we have in Cefn Mawr and the togetherness of everyone at the football club. Absolute First Class!
Have a great Christmas from everyone at the Albion.
