Meldreth Matters, July 2020

Shepreth Spitfires Football Club www.sheprethspitfires.co.uk It is lovely to see more of the Spitfires out and about in Meldreth as things get a little easier for lots of us.

We still have some of our children shielding at home with their parents and we wish them and all of the readers well and we look forward to seeing you all when things are safer, which we really hope won’t be too long now.

These past two weeks have been very exciting as all age groups except tots have returned to training at the Eternit Sports and Social Club, Meldreth and Shepreth Recreation Ground. The children who have been able to come have absolutely loved getting back to training and lots of the parents have said that training is now the highlight of their children’s week, which is great feedback. The children train while socially distanced and in groups of four so we would like to say a huge thank you to all of the Shepreth Spitfires coaches because without them all being on hand, it would not be possible to get the children back to their beloved footy.

The Spitfires have also been finishing off their ten and twenty mile running medal challenges and it has been great to deliver and send medals to all of the Spitfires and their siblings who took part. Two of the younger siblings in particular have said that theirs are the first medals that they have ever won. Lots of 28
