PSP 2005 brought together twelve local teams for a charity 5-a-side blitz tournament on Saturday, with all proceeds going to the Northfields Community Foodbank. The event, held at the club's primary training facility, featured competitive football across U9, U12, and U16 age groups throughout the day.
A Day of Community Football
Over 150 players, coaches, and family members attended the event. Entry fees, a raffle, and refreshment stalls combined to raise an incredible £820 — significantly surpassing the club's original target of £500. Club Chair Michelle Okafor described the event as 'a perfect example of what grassroots football can mean to a community.'

Days like this are exactly why we started PSP 2005. Football should always be at the heart of the community. — Club Chair Michelle Okafor
