Ashton Masonic Hall played host to a glitzy award ceremony last weekend, as West End Amateur Football Club celebrated a memorable season at all age levels and more than 50 years’ service to the community.

The presentation evening, which attracted hundreds of players, coaches and family members, was the first event to take place since the Covid-19 pandemic.

The club, which caters for players aged between 6-18, has a solid foundation for future growth, with top-class facilities, qualified coaches and a positive environment to thrive in.
