Big football tournament postponed

THIS year's Spartan Football Club 1066 Soccer Tournament has had to be postponed.

The huge annual event, due to have taken place at the Bulverhythe playing fields on August 24-26, has had to skip a year after a major sponsor pulled out.

The tournament - which would have celebrated its 15th year - should be back next summer.

Despite last year's success when 135 teams from all over the country took part, the rising cost of the event has proved too much of a hurdle for organisers.
