Irlam Vale AFC

HDT gave them £4,500 to develop additional football pitches on Irlam Primary School where the team use their facilities. The field was not fit to be used by anyone.

Junior football team Irlam Vale AFC was formed in 1994 and the club was awarded the FA Charter Standard Development Award in 2010. The club operates 8 teams of 150 players from under 7’s to under 17’s and their Academy School offers an introduction to football for 4-6 year olds.

HDT contributed £4,500 to develop additional football pitches at Irlam Primary School where the team use their facilities. The field was not fit to be used by anyone including Irlam Primary School and would have been left unused. The area was grassed summer 2013.

“Now we have got this pitch to use for matches and training we will be able to rotate the usage. We can now rest a pitch for much needed maintenance.” Fred Catterall, Club Representative
