An event excite fans of all clubs and ages, many of the events' players having proud histories at clubs including Sheffield United, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday and many more. Part of our 150th year anniversary celebrations, a Gainsborough Trinity XI will square up against a Premier League XI managed by Jimmy Snee.
We have been blown away by the support of our Premier League Legends Event, taking place on Saturday 3rd June 2023 at the Northolme. Kicking off at 1pm, this fantastic festival of football, boasting some famous footballing faces from the Premier League, to closer to home, we cannot wait to welcome you along for a summer football fix at the home of football, the Northolme.
Match Sponsor
We are delighted to welcome on board Samuel Jacob Memorials, producers of hand crafted tributes for your loved ones. Sam has agreed to become full match sponsors and is excited to join the Gainsborough Trinity train, one that saw the Holy Blues finish the season in fourth place of the Pitching In Northern Premier League, before agonisingly losing out at the Semi Final stage,
following a heart-breaking penalty shootout.
As part of preparations for the event, Sam has created and commissioned a beautifully crafted Gainsborough Trinity ball made out of granite, showcasing just a small part of what they have to offer. Samuel Jacob Memorials is a respected producer of bespoke headstones and memorials in North Lincolnshire. They work hard to provide lasting tributes and fitting memorials for your dearly departed. All types of designs, lettering, materials and motifs are available, and they are more than happy to talk through all of your options. So, why not take a look at their website and feel free to get in touch with them to discuss any requirements you may have.
Further announcements will be made in due course about our other brilliant businesses and individuals that have pledged to support, in what promises to be a great afternoon of football, raising funds as we look to make a real impact on the 2023/24 season! More sponsorship opportunities, coupled with the ability to sponsor individual players (read on below) mean there is still time for you to get on board.
