Our Barn Community Cup: A Celebration of Sport and Community Spirit
Friday 12th July, Hounslow Lions FC proudly sponsored and hosted the Our Barn Community Cup, a day filled with excitement, competition, and an unwavering sense of community. The event was a resounding success, with ten teams battling it out in both premiership and championship tournaments.
In the end, Pro Touch SA emerged as the overall winners, while Victory Hants took home the Fair Play award for their exemplary sportsmanship. Each team had the opportunity to honour their own Community Champion, adding a personal touch to the day’s celebrations.
The event was not just about fierce competition; it also highlighted the importance of inclusivity and diversity. Walking Football was celebrated, allowing participants of all ages and abilities to join in the fun. The games, each lasting ten minutes, were thrilling and, when ending in a draw, decided by nail-biting penalty shootouts.
A big crowd gathered to support the teams, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere. Our manager, Taj, was delighted with the day’s success and had the honor of presenting the trophies to the winning teams. We were thrilled to host teams from as far away as Portsmouth, with Sybil Elgar entering two teams, Speak Out in Hounslow fielding two teams, Our Barn Community contributing one team, Hounslow Lions, Syon Manor College and Victory Hants participating with one team, meanwhile Pro Touch SA brought two big squads.
The Our Barn Community Cup was a shining example of community spirit. It was entertaining, fun, competitive, and inclusive—truly a day to remember. We look forward to many more events like this, continuing to bring our community together through the love of sport.
Thank you to all the teams, refs, coaches, supporters, and volunteers who made this day unforgettable. We couldn’t have done it without you!
