💚💛 MARY & OSCAR FUNDRAISER — ROUND 2 💛💚

We’re back for Round 2 as our Tekkers Over 55s take on Essex Over 60s in another special match, with the most important thing once again happening away from the football pitch — raising money and awareness for Mary & Oscar. ❤️

📅 Sunday 23rd August
⏰ 4:30pm kick-off
📍 Heybridge Swifts

It promises to be a fantastic afternoon of football, friendship and community, all coming together for a truly special cause. We’d love to see as many people as possible down there to support the teams, support Mary & Oscar and help us make Round 2 another day to remember.

🐐 One Club. One Herd. One Purpose. 💚💛

A REALITY CHECK FOR THE GOATS. 🐐💚💛

It was a frustrating afternoon for Tekkers Community as we came away with a 4-4 draw against Harwich & Parkeston ‘A’. We found ourselves 1-0 down after just 10 minutes, before Ryan Slack levelled things up in the 12th minute. Just two minutes later, George Vallentyne produced a good finish to put us 2-1 ahead, but individual errors ultimately cost us as we went into half-time 4-2 down. The boys battled away in the second half and goals from Chris Johnson and Ben Parkin eventually rescued a point. The chances were there, but we simply didn’t take enough of them.

Overall, it was a poor performance and a disappointing result, and one that gives us a massive reality check. Credit to Harwich & Parkeston, who worked extremely hard and, on the day, looked like they wanted it that little bit more than us. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and we’ll learn from this, regroup and go again next week. Unfortunately, the afternoon was also marred by a serious alleged racist incident involving our right-back Emmanuel Dare and Harwich’s number 7. The matter has been reported to the Essex FA and the Essex & Suffolk Border League, and we will allow the appropriate processes to take their course. Ben Parkin was also shown a red card after the final whistle and will now serve a suspension.

Not the day we wanted, but these are the moments that test us. We take the lessons, stick together and keep building. 💚💛🐐

One Club. One Herd. One Purpose.

ONE WEEK TO GO! 💚💛🐐

Just one week today until our Tekkers Community FC Charity First Team are back in action, as we welcome Silver Oyster for another important fixture. We’ll be kicking off at 2PM on Sunday 23rd August at Wormingford Playing Field, based at Wormingford Village Hall, Main Road, Wormingford, CO6 3AX.

As always with Tekkers, this is about much more than what happens on the pitch. ❤️ This fixture will see us raising money for Leukaemia UK, supporting an incredible cause while bringing our community together through football. We’d love to see plenty of familiar faces down at Wormingford, supporting the lads and helping us raise as much as possible.

One week. One team. One cause. 💚🐐💛
One Club. One Herd. One Purpose.

Today is the day! 💚⚽

Join us this afternoon for our Mary & Oscar Fundraiser as Tekkers Community take on Chapel United in a special charity match at Heybridge Swifts.

🐐 TEAM NEWS 🐐

The squad is taking shape ahead of today’s trip to face Harwich & Parkeston ‘A’, with the management team having a strong group available and ready to go. There are a few absentees, with Owen Hayton and Jamie Barnett both ruled out through injury, Matt Geen unavailable due to work commitments, while Luke Oscar and Jake Hearn are both away. Roger Smith also misses out through suspension.

There is plenty of excitement, however, with George Vallentyne and Matt Grove both coming into the squad and set to make their Tekkers Community FC debuts. 🐐💚💛

A very strong squad is available and at the ready, giving the management team plenty of options ahead of another big test. Saturday, 3PM — Harwich & Dovercourt School.

MATCHDAY 2 🐐💚💛

Looking to kick on after a great start to the season last week! With a full squad available to choose from, minus a couple, we’re good to go and ready for another big one.

We know we’ll have to be at our best against a strong Harwich & Parkeston ‘A’ side, but the lads are ready for the challenge. The aim is simple — build on last week, keep the momentum going and put in another performance that makes everyone connected to this club proud. 💪

Another opportunity to represent the badge, another chance to get three points and another day for the Tekkers family to come together. 🐐💚💛

💚 THE CAUSE — MARY & OSCAR 💚

This post introduces the two incredible children at the heart of our upcoming fundraiser, Mary, 12, and Oscar, 10, who both live with Rett syndrome. Their story is one of courage, resilience and determination, from the early signs that something wasn’t quite right through to their eventual diagnoses and the ongoing challenges they face every single day. Despite their complex needs, Mary and Oscar continue to bring huge amounts of love, personality and joy to their family. We’re raising funds to help provide the specialist equipment and therapies they need to reach their potential and enjoy the best quality of life possible alongside their siblings, George and Arthur. This is why we do what we do — because football can be used to make a real difference away from the pitch. 💚💛 Every bit of support means so much to Mary, Oscar and their family. 🐐❤️

⏳ Just 5 Days To Go! ⏳

The countdown is well and truly on! In just five days, Tekkers Community will take to the pitch against Chapel United for our Mary & Oscar Fundraiser, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to what promises to be a fantastic day of football, community spirit and fundraising.

This match is about so much more than the result. It’s about coming together to support two incredible young people and helping raise vital funds that will make a real difference to Mary and Oscar’s lives. Every person through the gate, every donation and every share helps us move one step closer to making a positive impact.
