Football Success for CFP Newbury in Inclusive League

We are thrilled to report that Football Came Home to the Newbury Furniture Project on 7th June when both our pan-ability teams won their groups in the FA’s Berks, Bucks and Oxon Inclusive League.

Our League Two team had clinched the title earlier in the season but our Conference team had to remain unbeaten during the final meeting of the season to win. Despite tough opposition they successfully held off the competition and won all their games to win the group by four points.

We are so proud of both teams who work hard through the year at training sessions as well as on the pitch.

The Furniture Project has been competing in the BOBi league for about 10 years and we started fielding two teams three years ago. All our players live with a learning or physical disability and many haven’t had the opportunity to play in competitive sport before joining the CFP team.

The teams are supported by proceeds from the Community Furniture Project – thank you for donating and shopping with us and helping to provide opportunity and achievement like this.
Also huge thanks go to all the staff, volunteers, friends, family and footballers who support the CFP Football Club and helped to make this happen!
