CCG Decorators & Saints Southwest Charity Cup 2025: Football, Community, and Charity Unite

Over 160 Players. 1 Purpose. 2 Incredible Charities.
Saturday 17th May 2025 was a day to remember.
Hosted at Newton Abbot Rugby Club, the CCG Decorators & Saints Southwest Charity Cup 2025 brought together over 160 adult footballers for a competitive, inclusive, and unforgettable 6-a-side tournament — all in support of two life-changing causes: Exeter Leukaemia Fund (ELF) and The Stanley Beau Foundation.
From the first whistle to the final trophy lift, the day was full of energy, passion, and unity — football once again proving its power to bring communities together for something much bigger than the game.

A Word from Our Director

"This isn’t just about football — it’s about people. We created the Charity Cup to give the community a chance to play with purpose. To see over 160 adults step out and raise thousands for ELF and the Stanley Beau Foundation is honestly incredible. This day proves just how powerful football can be when it’s built on heart, not just competition."— Mark Titchard, Director – Saints Southwest
