Football fever has really gripped us at Warner’s Budgens, but while most people are gearing up for the World Cup, we’ve been celebrating football stars closer to home. On 14th May, we held our annual football awards for the local Moreton Rangers Junior Football Club at Moreton Town Hall. One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of the Warner’s Budgens Clubman Award which went to Graham Jones.

Graham is a dedicated supporter of Moreton Rangers Junior FC and his commitment shone through as he stepped in to manage the under 12s team when their manager had to leave half way through the season. His enthusiasm for the sport is evident and this year, he is also looking to start a Moreton 3rd adult team.

The club managers also thanked the boys and girls who make up the junior teams for all their hard work and the enjoyment they have given them and their parents this year. The club succeeds thanks to the help and support of the volunteer managers, parents and players who give up their time to help fund-raise and run events. In August the club is holding a sponsored 24-hour static cycle ride in Moreton high street to raise funds for new changing rooms. All contributions are welcome.
