My Story

Bowlers against Cancer 💚 After climbing 3 divisions, creating a team spirit that could move mountains, a spirit that blows as strong as the wind at the highest point in the planet, the bowling green has decided to face its next challenge. There’s been many weekends where we’ve all woken up and not wanted to play, there’s been times where we’re losing and there seems to be no way we can possibly win, yet through having everyone pull together we finish each time with a smile on our face and the knowledge we tried. With the league season coming to the end, we’ve decided to reach the top of something slightly bigger than the division 1 trophy, to be able to lift something that holds a little more weight than that gold cup. This summer the Bowling Green Football team will be climbing Snowdon for Cancer Research UK. For those of you who know us as a football team, you’ll be aware that cardio has never been our strong point, and having to walk to somewhere that isn’t a pub is far away from our usual activities! With that being said, some of our members have had a close relationship with Cancer, which in turn means everyone in our football club has too. If there’s one thing we can do to show our solidarity, it’s voluntarily walking up a mountain. Our very own Callum Stoutt has had his own battles, currently rocking a 2-0 record. While our own record in the season this year has been far from unbeaten, Stoutty’s track record does all the speaking we need to, far more than any 90 minutes on a Sunday could do. The support within our team is something we take proudly and the people who have supported us on our journey, we’d like to extend this opportunity once again, with the aim of raising 5K for charity. Despite the financial target, this challenge is showcase our emotional support for those who have experienced any form of struggle through cancer. There’s a starting lineup, substitutes, reserves, supporters and friends, all of which make up this team. All donations are welcome, we thank you for your support. The Bowling Green Football Team 💚
