RIP Freddie 😢 Sending our deepest condolences to the family and friends of 9 year old Gresford Athletic FC player Freddie Pritchard who sadly passed away unexpectedly on his way back from a family holiday. Freddie has touched so many hearts and was a huge football fan. He supported many international/ European football teams especially his home town Wrexham and Liverpool FC. The football community has been absolutely amazing holding a minutes silence and applause. A message from Matt, his coach: “Freddie was a well-loved member of the team and was developing into a good footballer with a fierce left foot, who scored lots of goals for us. The coaches, players and parents will all miss Freddie dearly, but he will always be with us in our hearts and he won't be forgotten.” A fundraiser has been started to help towards the cost of Freddie’s funeral, with donations also being given to the Cheshire Ambulance Service, the Countess of Chester Hospital and the Alder Hey Snowdrop suite.

We don’t even know where to start with writing this post. If you do one thing today please read, share and send a message to Charlie in the Comments. Having been unwell for a few weeks, 13 year old cheeky & smiley Charlie, under 14 player from Weedon Football Club received the worst possible news on Friday. We are devastated to share (with his permission) that his results on 16/6/23 confirmed he has a rare and aggressive sarcoma which is incurable. Many friends are asking what they can during this heart breaking time, so one option is to help Luke, Karen and Maddie his sister to fill the time that Charlie has left with lots of fun, laughter and happy memories. Donating will enable the family to spend quality time together fulfilling Charlie’s bucket list, ensuring he has all the experiences he wishes for.
