Held in conjunction with High Peak Sports Partnership, Glossop North end Ladies, Glossopdale Community College and ATP the afternoon of football was a great success .

Coaches from Glossop Juniors, Glossop North End Ladies and 4 Young Sports Leaders ran a mixed session covering fun , fundamental football skills. Zoey Shaw (Glossop North End Ladies and Glossop Juniors under 10's coach) ran a warm up for over 70 girls !
