On 19th.June, Accrington Catenian Circle
sponsored a 5-a-side football competition open to all the Catholic primary schools
in the area. The event, held at St.Oswald’s School in Accrington, was organised
by Mr. Jeff Brown, the Headteacher of the school. Jeff is a member of
Accrington Circle. Ten mixed teams of boys and girls took part in a competitive,
yet friendly, manner and they also made short work of the half-time
refreshments. The final between St.Charles, Rishton and St.Wulstans’s, Great
Harwood, was an exciting affair with the score 2-2 at the end of normal time.
In the ensuing penalty shoot-out, St.Charles won by the narrowest of margins
2-1. As the event was such a huge success it is hoped to hold the competition
annually.

The Catenian Association is an international body of proudly Catholic laymen and permanent deacons who meet at least once a month in local groups called Circles, to enjoy each other's company and thereby strengthen their family life through friendship, faith and fun! It is open to practising Catholic laymen from the age of 18 years. Many of the Circles’ activities involve the members’ wives and families.
