Millwall Community Trust’s Play on the Pitch Day at The Den was a huge success on Tuesday.
Starting at 9am in the morning with a Military Veterans and Partners match, all in aid of Millwall’s Military Veterans Tommy’s D-Day Trek in June.
In what was a highly competitive match, it was great to see the fixture played in the right spirit with all participants enjoying themselves.
Following on from this, Millwall’s Post-16 team faced off against Millwall’s Canterbury Post-16 side.
The yearly fixture was another exciting match with great skills and technique on display.
Following this, Millwall’s Walking Football team took to The Den to play a mixed match against Chatham Town’s Walking Football side.
Millwall’s Alternative Provision (AP) Programme then hosted a Year 9 and Year 10 tournament with a four way competition taking place.
All four sides played really well with London Nautical and Conisborough College picking up the trophy in their respective age groups.
After this, we had our usual Player Development Centre session - which is normally held at St Paul’s Sports Ground and Harris Academy Bermondsey - between 4:30-6:00pm.
150 children turned up - which included both our boys’ and girls’ groups - for this special occasion and all left with a smile on their face after having an excellent time.
To finish off the day, Millwall Lionesses U16’s faced off against Millwall’s Canterbury U16 side.
Millwall Community Trust CEO, Sean Daly said: “We are delighted with how our Community takeover Play on the Pitch Day went and it was great to see so many people enjoying themselves.
“At the Trust our aim is to create opportunities for participants, and this was shown in the event yesterday.
“Thank you to everyone who took part, and we are already planning for next year’s event.”
