Lewis Marsh Fund Community Screening Number 4 by Sally Reid 
Each year the local boys football club has organised what is known as The Lewis Marsh 11-a-side Pre-Season Friendly Tournament.  It covers teams from the ages of under 8 to under 17 (well actually this year the under 17’s didn’t come). It raises a fantastic amount for the fund and is a great weekend of fun and sport.  I say this with double pride being a member of the club and also fund manager for the Lewis Marsh Fund.

The first day dawned fresh and clear – Er well, actually, no it didn't. For the beginning of June, it was unseasonably cold and wet.  This was the culmination of our own personal marathon; we had been growing plants for months.  What had seemed like a good idea, had now turned into an uphill battle just to keep everything watered.
