Fifty years of community football is being marked this weekend as players from the 1974 squad meet members of the 22 teams that currently play at the Rutland Showground

Royce Rangers is marking 50 years tomorrow and everyone's invited. Trustee, Ian Razzell, says it's important that the club remains true to its roots.

‘It is so important that this remains a Community based football club. Everybody is welcome. You know, there isn't any sort of aspirational rule that we set that people are going to be a certain standard. There are clubs that have academies and that's really important. But Royce Rangers never been an academy. There's no plans for it to be an academy. So this is about local families coming along at the weekend, coming and seeing us on Saturday and just having a look at what we do’.
