THAMES VALLEY FESTIVAL OF FOOTBALL

On behalf of Barton Rovers F.C., we would like to invite you to enter teams into our Annual Football Tournament, held once again at the home of Barton Rovers F.C. Little Heath School, Turnhams Farm, Tilehurst, Reading.

As always entry will be on a first come first served basis and to ensure participation, please visit the Tournament page on our website “www.bartonroversfc.com” and follow the instructions. To avoid any disappointment please complete your entry as soon as possible.

We are delighted to be able to keep the entry fees the same as last year and hope this helps with the current financial difficulties people are facing right now.

Entry is £40 per team apart from the Women’s teams where the entry is £50.00. Please note that entry fees are non-returnable in the event of the Tournament having to be cancelled due to the weather or circumstances outside of the Club’s control. This does not apply where Government regulations apply in which case entries will be refunded less a PayPal handling fee.

CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES IS 1st JUNE 2023

We aim to provide a Tournament that is both well co-ordinated and enjoyed by all that participate, and we will be catering for:
