This event has become a regular fixture in the Trust’s fundraising calendar over the years. Of greater importance, the event is eagerly awaited by enthusiastic players from all over Lanarkshire. No matter what your skill level or the chances of your team winning, it's an opportunity for Motherwell fans to meet up, enjoy the occasion and contribute directly to a cause that holds the club’s best interests at heart.
Preparations for the 2010 event are warming up nicely and it is confirmed that this will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 3rd July. The tournament returns to Fir Park’s astroturf pitch with an anticipated kick off at 12.30pm. Meanwhile, over in the Millennium Suite there will be a showing of the day’s World Cup Quarter Final matches on the big screen with some legendary visitors to boot.
Squads of between six and eight players are now invited to enter the competition with the entry fee of just £30 per team. Teams with two or more Trust members benefit from a further £5 discount. The fee includes changing and shower facilities, professional referees, a buffet at the final whistle and an afternoon of football action.
The winners of the tournament will be presented with the trophy and the opportunity to take on a team of Motherwell legends in the final match of the day. A chance to lock horns with Brian Martin, Dougie Arnott, Rab McKinnon and Stevie Kirk will be a long lasting memory.
To register your team, email sixes@mstonline.net and ensure a place. The Trust would be delighted to hear from players who don’t have a team but would like to take part in the tournament and they will try to reach an accommodation.
