Cherry Godfrey, alongside local Football Associations have announced the launch of the very first four island women’s football tournament.
The Cherry Godfrey Cup will bring together teams from Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight.
The teams will battle it out over a two day tournament for the coveted title of Cherry Godfrey Cup winners.
The tournament will be held every two years, with the first being held on August 23 and 24 at Springfield, the football stadium in this year’s host island – Jersey.
Football Tournament
Cherry Godfrey are working closely with the local FAs and football teams across all jurisdictions on this opportunity to further elevate women’s football across the Islands and their local communities.
This tournament is an amazing opportunity to showcase the array of female footballing talent across the Islands.
Tanzy Cherry, Chief Operating Officer at Cherry Godfrey, said: “It was only a few months ago that we were discussing with the Guernsey FA how we could support women’s football within the islands.
“As far as we knew, there wasn’t a significant tournament outside of the Island Games that gave the teams the opportunity to showcase the incredible talent within the islands.”
Cherry Godfrey Cup
“To be able to officially launch the Cherry Godfrey Cup resulting from that conversation is a huge achievement. Both the team and I couldn’t be prouder to be sharing the news with everyone across the islands,” Tanzy said.
“A massive thank you to all the FAs for their support – with particular mentions to Gary Roberts at Guernsey FA and Tony Vance, Guernsey FC Manager & Club Director, for helping us get this off the ground, and to the Jersey FA for agreeing to be the very first host Island.
“We are all very excited for what we believe is set to become an iconic event for many years to come”.
Play Offs
Play-offs will be held on Friday, August 23 and the 3rd/4th place match will be played in the morning of Saturday, August 24.
Concluding with the big final in the afternoon at 3pm.
