Grindleford Carnival 2017 officially opened on Sunday, with the traditional Grindleford Junior F.C. matches against parents/friends.  The three matches were extremely hard fought, with the U8 squad winning 4-2, the U10 Squad drawing at 4-4 and the U12 losing 5-3 (although they were probably moving better than the U12 opponents on Monday morning!!).   The matches were followed by the ‘End of Season’ trophy presentations.

‘Player of The Season for U8’ – As voted for by all the Coaches – Well done!

The Carnival Opening Ceremony followed, with some brilliant singing by the Grindleford Choir, an introduction from Mattie Cooper and a few words from Rev Jude.  All the Year 6 children are Ambassadors this year – look out for them on their float on Saturday!
