AIFC SUPPORT FREEKICKS FOUNDATION CHARITY CHALLENGE!
Over the weekend of the 13th/14th August, Anthony Wilson and Courtney Howell set out on a challenge of visiting 100 football clubs in 24 hours.
They started the challenge at Boston Town at 1pm, and travelled over 700 miles, through 7 counties visiting a range of grounds from all levels of the footballing pyramid!
The NFU Sports Ground was on their list of grounds to visit and they arrived to us at an early 1:13am on the Sunday morning!
They did the challenge in aid of raising funds for the Freekicks Foundation which is a Nationwide charity whose aim is to provide football-related activities for ill, bereaved and disadvantaged children, giving them a day to remember with their favourite football club.
They managed to complete their challenge in 23 hours, 29 minutes and 17 seconds!
Well done lads from all at Ashby Ivanhoe FC, it’s a great achievement and we are delighted to be able to have provided you with a signed shirt that you can auction off to raise some more funds!
We look forward to welcoming you to the NFU in the near future to enjoy a game with us!
