"OUR £3500 WINNINGS FROM 1000GBP.COM ARE LIKE HAVING A GREAT RUN IN THE FA CUP!"

SPARTAN South Midlands League Premier Division side Colney Heath FC have earned more than £3,500 from 1000GBP.com by being nominated as a benefiting Non-League club.

- 

They have been chosen by an incredible 79 people who have signed up to take part in The Ultimate Football Quiz after they were first encouraged to get involved by their new first-team manager Matty Day.

Chairman Richard Smith explained: "Matty and Tommy Burns took over as our new management team at the start of the season and have created a great vibe around the club," he said.

"They are always looking for ways to bring everyone together so the new 1000GBP.com football quiz is perfect as we are all very competitive with each other and, of course, it helps enormously with our fundraising."

Richard has lived in the village for 25 years and, having first become involved with the club when his son joined the Under 10's, he filled many different roles before taking over as chairman of the club a year ago.

"We run three men's senior teams, one women's side and multiple junior teams so we rely enormously on the goodwill and support of all our amazing fans and volunteers," Richard said.
