Former Newcastle United player Peter Beardsley opened Burradon Juniors Annual Family Funday to the delight of the players and local residents.
Peter reminded the players of the importance of playing and enjoying the sport and recalled his childhood and time he started to play football. Peter was extremely impressed with the facilities at Burradon Recreation Ground and he commended Burradon Juniors for organising an impressive tournament.
Peter signed autographs for players and parents and posed for photographs. Burradon Juniors are extremely grateful to Peter for attending the event considering he was due to fly out for his holiday on the same day.
There was a wide range of activities arranged including a fun fair, Punch & Judy, magician and an under 9’s seven a side tournament which was won by Longhouton Juniors.
The event raised £500 for Burradon Juniors and the funds will be used to purchase strips and equipment for the teams.
A special mention to ward Councillor Jim Allan for arranging for Peter Beardsley to open the event.
