Stow Amateur Football Club are pleased to announce that the Stow Carlsberg Soccer Sevens 2008 which were scheduled to be played at Stow on Sunday 14^th September 2008 will now be played at the Tweedbank All Weather Sports Facility in Galashiels. This switch of venue is necessary due to the severe flooding of the Stow Park and changing facility. The Stow pitch is in reasonable condition but the surrounding areas are still dangerous for spectators.

The tournament will now feature 16 teams instead of the original 24 this is due to withdrawals because of league and other business. The event will take on a slightly different format to the original tournament. It will be played over two pitches instead of three and will be a straight knockout competition.

Changing will be in the Tweedbank Changing rooms – clubs should make sure a responsible person will look after their valuables and kit. Team sheets and copies of the rules will be available on the day for participating teams.

Sponsors Carlsberg will continue with their sponsorship of the event and a bar and catering will be available on the day. The tournament will kick off at Noon.

Next season the tournament will revert back to an end of season event at Stow which should allow plenty of time for re-scheduling if required!
