โฝ๏ธ ๐ ๐ฅณ Residents of Oakley. ๐ ๐ฃ Itโs that time of year again!
This bank holiday weekend, 3000+ people will flock to the Peter Houseman Playing Fields for the annual Oakley FC Six-A-Side Football Tournament. โฝ๏ธ
Over 150 teams, U7-U16, proper fun grassroots football, fast and furious short matches. Come & watch, have a bite to eat and a mingle, bump into people you know. ๐ ยฃ2.50 entry, kids go free. Itโs a fabulous community event with a great atmosphere, raising money for the club and for local cancer charity Sebastianโs Action Trust. ๐ค
๐ ๐ ๐ Please PLEASE (as always) expect traffic congestion on Oakley Lane on both Saturday and Sunday, especially around the school and shops. ๐ ๐ ๐
Car parking is in the school grounds and the access is one way / single file, so please be patient! ๐ Our parking stewards ๐ ๐ ๐ will be doing their very best to avoid gridlock, however it is likely to be busy both days between 7.45-9am โฆ and the am-to-pm changeover of 12-2.30pm will be the busiest time by far โ we advise going the long way round the village. ๐
NB: Peter Houseman field itself is not open for public use this weekend โ๏ธ and is disabled parking and access only.
On the Tournify app (link below) you can find all the groups, timings and results updated in real time. All our burgers ๐ and sausages ๐ญ come from Wallyโs V&B Butchers, we are supported by a number of local businesses, and teams come to play from all over Basingstoke and Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Wiltshire.
So, may the best teams win! ๐ฅ Good luck to all our Oakley players! ๐๐คโ๏ธ We hope everyone has a splendid couple of days! ๐ฅณ
Thank you in advance for your patience about traffic congestion or disruption. ๐ ๐ ๐
We really appreciate all your support. ๐ โ on behalf of Oakley FC. โฝ๏ธ
