HOLSWORTHY AFC Youth members were recently invited to attend the 2015 Devon FA Community Awards at the Exeter Court Hotel on Wednesday, June 10, and were extremely pleased to come away having been recognised for their hard work.

The FA Community Awards aim to build on McDonald's continued commitment to improving standards of community football and increasing participation across all aspects of grassroot football through Charter Standard Clubs and Leagues.

Holsworthy AFC Youth came runners up in The Charter Standard Club of the Year Award — a fine achievement.

Special guest at the awards night was none other than former England World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst MBE who presented Holsworthy with their award.
