Violet Meadow - Opening match night

The wonderful new Violet Meadow stadium was officially opened tonight and proudly hosted the Worcester River Plate Severn TFC pre-season event.

The evening saw appearances from the reigning champions Worcester River Plate - with new C6 pro bases and last seasons runners-up Bozward Busbys - sporting new C5 pro bases. Household favourites Junior Gunners and Spurs 70's All Stars completed the line-up of teams making this a special occasion for all at WRP7 TFC. It was a wonderful scene with the floodlights blazing down onto the superb violet playing surface.

The opening game saw Bozward Busbys take on the Junior Gunners. This encounter saw the first ever goal at the Violet Meadow – scored by the Busbys – an excellent strike from just inside the area – the young Gunners keeper had no chance! The game finished 1-0 although the result could have gone either way. In one of the most exciting games of the evening, Spurs 70’s All Stars took a 1-0 lead against ‘The Sherminator’, however his Worcester River Plate side fought back well to win by a narrow margin - it finished 2-1.
