Story
🏆 THE CALLUM QUARTLEY CUP 🏆
2022 marks the first annual CQ cup. A charity football match and day out organised to raise money and awareness for mental health. For those who don’t know, last year we lost a brother and fellow member of UPFC. Cal embodied everything it meant to be a friend. He was always laughing, always up for a pint, would chat to anyone no matter who they were. However, for reasons we still don’t know he took his own life and ever since we as a club have strived to promote mental health (especially in men) and want to continue to do so year after year in order to stop this happening again.
Cal was the epitome of a ‘bloke’. Loves football, beers and barbecues, so what better thing to do than all three as a celebration of his life and charity fundraiser.
⚽️ The Match:
In the order for this event to run year on year there will be a two captains that will pick two teams to compete for the CQ trophy and prize. The captains of these teams will be the current chairman (Nathan Dear) and the winner of the last years Callum Quartley award (Theo Tibbs). They will each choose a 14 man squad, they MUST select at least 1 player from each UPFC team 1-7 and then including themselves they will have free reign to choose 6 more players. If you are selected you will have to pay a £10 fee, half of which will go to charity and the other half towards the prize for the winning team. 🥇
🍻 The Day:
The Staddy Pub at Staddiscombe Playing Fields have been kind enough to offer the pub and beer garden to us for the day. There will be big tunes, big beers and big food. On arrival to the pub at midday there will be time for a few pints before the match at 1pm. After the game finishes we will reconvene at the pub for some post match speeches from execs, a raffle and a barbecue (all of which will be raising money for the charity, Mind). We will stay at the pub until around 6pm before we head back into Plym Vegas for a night out (tbc).🍾
🍔 BBQ:
Our very own Chef Charlie Goldsmith will be bringing some unreal flavours on the BBQ. Meat and veggie options with all the money made going to charity.
