Vallance FC buzzing in their new kit

The under 16 players for Vallance FC are ready to sting the opposition in the Safer Neighbourhood Football Tournament with their new yellow and black kit provided by Tower Hamlets Homes.  The Tournament brings together the best local football talent and has been running for the last eight years.  This year as well as a senior cup, there will be a under 16 trophy up for grabs, that the Vallance team aim to fly into and win.

Tower Hamlets Homes, who also sponsor the FC Berner men’s team, are proud supporters of the SNT tournament and grassroots football in the borough. 

Tower Hamlets Homes Chief Executive Gavin Cansfield said “the Safer Neighbourhood Tournament is one of the many ways we are building relationships in our diverse community, and it’s great to be able to sponsor a team like Vallance who do so much for their local area.” Gavin went on to say “with many of the players coming from Tower Hamlets Homes properties, it was really easy get behind the Vallance team.  We wish them all the best for the tournament this weekend.”

The Safer Neighbourhood Tournament is all about building community partnerships, with local amateur football teams from different neighbourhoods across the borough playing matches with representatives from local Metropolitan Police Service, London Fire Service and the business community in Canary Wharf.

The tournament kicked off at the weekend - Saturday 17 April and Sunday 18 April at Victoria Park with the final being played Monday 19 April at Mile End Stadium.
