North East Parkies United reflect on cup triumph at St George’s Park
North East Parkies United players are ‘bursting with pride’ after winning the Cure Parkinson’s Cup at St George’s Park.
We are really excited to be working with the EFL Trust on this programme as it offers something really unique for fans to take part in. The sessions run inside the Stadium of Light and it is a fantastic opportunity to see the Stadium in a new and different way.
Liz Barton-Jones, Head of Sports Development at the Foundation of LightPaul, from Wycombe said “I was a bit wary that the training element might be too intensive so soon after my heart attack but the staff were brilliant and gave me reassurances that I could work at my own pace. They were so attentive to my needs and how I could reach my targets.”

Over 20 teams from across the North East, Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire competed in the mixed and girls’ tournaments at Downhill, including two host squads from the Foundation of Light.
Foundation of Light are excited to introduce a new partnership with Northern Premier League club Consett AFC, creating a clear pathway for male football scholarship players.
