Many thanks to everyone who played yesterday at the Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust Community five-a-side tournament.

It was great that  teams from all over South Wales came together for the event. Trelewis Boys’ Club were worthy winners beating Tim’s Team, a side arranged by Trust chairman Tim Hartley, 3-1.

Tim Hartley said: “I’d like to thank Jo Borley and her staff at the House of Sport for making us welcome and to Keith Morgan from the Supporters’; Trust for organising the event.

“Well done to everyone for playing and see you next year.”

Andy Daniel, one of those who took part,

sent an e-mail to Tim Hartley. It read “Thanks Tim and to the rest of the CCST board for organising it. We really enjoyed the day, and were gutted to go out to you in the semi (our first defeat and the only two goals we conceded all competition). We’ll definitely be having another shot at it.”

Cardiff City Football Club donated one of the shirts Aaron Ramsey wore during his loan period at the City. Other great prizes were also donated by sponsors.

Thanks to everyone that supported the event – including those that turned up on the night.

The proceeds from the race night pushes the amount raised to more than £48,000.

Great raffle prizes on the night include hospitality for two at the Cardiff v QPR game, donated by Clayton Jones of St David’s Travel, and a match shirt worn by Aaron Ramsey, donated by Cardiff City. Curry for just £2.

We need your name, membership no or address and the player that you think has made the greatest contribution to the team in 2010/11.

Would you like to win two hospitality tickets for Cardiff City’s biggest home game of the season – against QPR – or perhaps a genuine Aaron Ramsey-worn shirt?

Well, you will get the chance if you turn up for a Night at the Races in aid of the Fred Keenor Statue Appeal which takes place at the Duke of Clarence in Clive Road, Canton, next Thursday (April 14) at 7pm for 7.30pm start.

These great prizes will be up for grabs in a raffle held on the night.

Clayton Jones of St David’s Travel has donated the hospitality package, which includes a meal for two and a match programme, and the best seats in the house for the top of the table clash.

And Cardiff City Football Club has kindly donated one of the shirts Aaron wore during his loan period at the City. Other great prizes have also been donated by sponsors.

Eric Harmer, landlord of the Duke of Clarence, is making a curry with a poppadom for just £2, with all proceeds to the appeal. A total of 100 will be available on the night.

Each of the seven races are sponsored by South Wales based businesses: Admiral Insurance, Dilwar Ali of the Nahin Spice Centre, Jon Bassett of JW Bassett Pubs and Clubs, Capital Law, Wayne Mathews at Classic Sportswear, Knight Fire & Security and St David’s Travel.

Appeal project manager David Craig said: “Eric has been a great supporter of the appeal and we’re delighted that he has offered to run a race night and offer cut price curries with all proceeds to the appeal.

“He’s got a wealth of experience of race nights and we’re confident that punters will have a fun night and a tidy sum will be raised for the appeal.

“We are also very grateful for the donations made by each of the sponsors of the races.”

The fund currently stands at more than £47,500 – over half-way to the £85,000 target.
