A message from the Chairman.
On behalf of all committee members and myself, I
would like to extend a very warm welcome to the
players, officials and spectators for the Doug
Gamble Charity Shield invitation game.
As you may know, Doug Gamble devoted many
hours of his life promoting youth football and was
a founder member of the Youth League. Hopefully
this will be an appropriate way of remembering
Doug and what he achieved.
I hope you enjoy what should be an entertaining
game played in a sporting manner.
I would like to thank all those who have made this
game possible, including today’s hosts who have
kindly allowed us to use their
facilities.
Yours in Sport.
D. Stapleton
Chairman
The Charity Shield match is in memory of
Doug Gamble who was the mainstay in the
1960’s of starting up the league after a year’s
break with the help of the Peterborough
Youth Service.
The league has gone forward from that day
and has seen many players progress into
senior football with some into the
professional ranks.
Doug passed away in 2006 after being
involved for 44 years until 2003 when he
retired due to ill health as President of the
league, which he had held for 22 years. His
family are very proud that we have agreed to
use his name for this event which we hope
will be a great success and a great way to
start each season off.
Your support of this match will be most
appreciated by the Management Committee.
We hope that this match is played in the
spirit of the game and everybody applauds
the teams for competing, with the game the
winner, as Doug always liked to see the
game played for enjoyment and not ‘win at
all cost’.
