Terriers take award

A junior football side has become the latest club to achieve a Football Association qualification, and players from South London Terriers received their award on the Valley pitch on Saturday.

Players from South London Terriers received their award on the Valley pitch

The Terriers, who work closely with the Charlton Community Trust, are the first disability club in London to achieve the Kite Mark Chartered Standard to illustrate their success on and off the pitch.

Managed by Sharon Brokenshire, they play in the Football Foundation-funded South London Special League.

And players collected a plaque and certificate to recognise the honour prior to kick-off as Charlton took on Milton Keynes Dons last weekend.
