Sharon Wood Memorial Mini Soccer Festival
This event is held annually in July to raise funds for cancer research and to support the development of youth football in the community. It is dedicated to Sharon Wood who gave much of her time helping the club succeed in where it is today.
Organised this year by Alan Watson and Peter Thorne, the tournament is always a great success. Each year it surpasses the expectations of the previous and 2006 was no exception. 103 teams participated in over 220 matches on 14 pitches. Over 1000 youngsters/ladies took part trying to win one of the 120 trophy's and every square inch of the Wendron site was utilised. Car parking was provided in surrounding fields by kind permission of local farmers.

103 teams from all over Devon and Cornwall descended on Wendron Football Club for what is now the leading one-day tournament of its kind in the South West.

This annual event now in its seventh year; contained more than 220 matches for youngsters aged between 7 and 12 and ladies.

The day raised more than £6000, this has been divided equally between the club and cancer research. All winners were presented with medals and Trophy's by Ivan Winn (President of Wendron), Bruce Conyon (President of the CCFA), Alan Watson and Peter Thorne (tournament organizers), Hjalmar Wara (Chairman of Wendron Youth) and by Graham Wood, Mrs Margaret Tottle and Jenny Hosking (members of Sharon's family).

The standard of football was excellent and the support from parents, coaches and organisers was a credit to those connected with youth football.

A special mention of thanks must go to those volunteers who made the day possible. In particular the vision and desire of tournament organisers Alan Watson and Peter Thorne and their team of many volunteers, too numerous to mention. Thay ensured another successful tournament passed without any problems.

Lets also not forget the referees who also gave up their time. They had to officiate in 200 between the hours of 9.30am to 6.0pm when the last final was played.
