Cringleford Football Club score with new safer goalposts from Football Foundation

Following a successful funding bid, the Football Foundation have awarded Cringleford FC a grant of more than £400 towards the cost of providing new safe goalposts for the newly formed under 11's 11a side team.

We were awarded the grant after applying to the Football Foundation's Goalpost Safety Scheme.  Since 1991 nine young footballers have tragically been killed in the UK by unsafe goals.  Many more have been seriously injured by posts and crossbars that fail to meet even basic safety standards.

Teaming up with The Football Association (FA), the Football Foundation has earmarked almost £4m to replace non-compliant and unsafe goals in England at thousands of schools, clubs and parks across the country.

Funded by the Premier League, The FA, Sport England and the Government, the Football Foundation is dedicated to revitalising the grass roots of the game, constructing modern football facilities, developing footabll as a force for social cohesion and as a vehicle for education in communities.

Cringleford FC thanks the Football Foundation:  "This funding towards new, safer goalposts is a fantastic boost.  Football is our national sport and it is great that the Football Foundation is investing in improving the grassroots of the game".
