CHERRY Orchard, last Saturday, officially launched their 2018 Under 13 Elite Actavo Cup in Elmdale Park.
Running from September 14-16, the tournament is now in its second year and will involve eight top sides in this age group.

Thirteen-year-old Jessie Stapleton will be the first female to participate in the Actavo Cup, competing alongside her Cherry Orchard team mates after having been called into Colin Bell’s International Women’s team this year.
Graham Henderson, Regional Manager, Hire & Sales division of Actavo said: “Actavo | Hire & Sales is delighted to support this event again in 2018.
“Football is at the heart of the local community. We always look to give back to the local community and, being a coach of the Under 9s team myself, I fully see the potential in our players in Cherry Orchard,” he added.
