We will be facing Harpenden Town and Buckhurst Hill in a series of 30-minute matches as part of the Derek Russell Tournament on Saturday, the 5th of July.

The tournament will be raising money for the Derek Russell Foundation, which was set up to honour the life of Derek Russell, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Derek was a key supporter of the club, and his son Joe Russell played for the club as recently as 2023.

The Derek Russell Foundation supports local sports organisations and provides financial assistance to children who might otherwise be unable to play sport, as well as offering entrepreneurial mentorship to give young people free expert business guidance.

As part of the fundraising efforts, a raffle will be taking place during the lunch break on the day, which will be between 12.30pm and 1pm.

The raffle will include the chance to win two high-profile signed shirts, one signed by Bukayo Saka, and another by Cristian Romero.

The schedule for the tournament will be as follows:

10.30am-11am: Potters Bar Town vs Harpenden Town
11.10am-11.40am: Potters Bar Town vs Buckhurst Hill
11.50am-12.20pm: Buckhurst Hill vs Harpenden Town

We look forward to welcoming the Bar Army home in what promises to be a fantastic day of raising money for a good cause.
