The Lincolnshire grassroots football fraternity celebrate the Carres Grammer School project.

A grammar school in Lincolnshire will never have to postpone football practice because of bad weather again after opening their new third generation pitch, funded by the Football Foundation, recently.
And the good news doesn’t stop there for Carres Grammar School in Sleaford who have also unveiled brand new changing rooms as well.
The brand new facilities were both part funded by the UK’s biggest sports charity, the Football Foundation, which is supported by The FA, the Premier League and the Government.
Lincolnshire FA’s Gary Johnson commented: “This is the first significant grant that the Football Foundation has made towards a third generation rubber crumb ATP and it is another boost for the Sleaford area complementing the recent facility developments at nearby Sleaford Town FC.
“It’s great for footballers of all ages as it will make Sleaford Carres Grammar School a top-class facility,” said the County Development Manager.
Gary added: “This facility was a priority within the Lincolnshire County FA facility strategy and this project highlights the hard work by numerous partners.
“The project has shown that, with the relevant support and the desire to succeed, anything is possible and we’re delighted that the local football community will now benefit.”
