Rock & Goal charity event

Rock & Goal was a football tournament and rock concert organised in aid of the SMILE! Charity, which raises money to help children with facial deformities.

TRG sent along its finest players to take part in the football competition and, taking the proverb “It’s not the winning that counts, but the taking part” as their maxim, they gave their all over two days of matches in sweltering conditions.

Playing against some teams with much more experience and training, the TRG side, backed by a very vocal group of supporters, acquitted themselves with great enthusiasm and commitment, winning one and losing six of their seven games, but winning praise from their opponents for their never-say-die attitude.

Taking part in the tournament has inspired the players to train and play more often, so maybe next year they will bring the trophy back to TRG headquarters!
