Community football match in Manor Park, Slough
Teenagers from Manor Park ran rings around Slough police officers last night (24/10) at a community football match.
The talented youngsters beat officers from the Slough North neighbourhood policing team 19-16 in a fast-paced game.
Held between 6pm and 7pm at the indoor sports hall at Herschel Grammar School, the five-a-side football game was the first of its kind in Manor Park.
Slough Neighbourhood Sergeant Liam Nairn, who acted as referee, said: “The match was played in a friendly atmosphere, with a good turnout of supporters from both sides.
“I would like to thank Herschel Grammar School for letting us use their facilities, as well as all those who took part in the game.
“We organised it to help bring about closer contact between neighbourhood officers and local people. The youngsters enjoyed themselves and we hope to have more matches in future, possibly once a month.”
