On a day that we would normally be hosting football matches, today all of us at Askam United Football Club would like to pay our respects to HM Queen Elizabeth II. A wreath in her memory will lie on the centre of our pitch until football resumes at Duddon Road.

The club last week purchased 95 face shield/visors. These have now arrived and will be taken to Furness General Hospital tomorrow - to be donated to all the heroes working on ICU.

It really feels pointless putting this post but enough is enough. Our groundsman has gone down this morning to work on the pitch, only to find this. We have a game on this pitch on Saturday - DO NOT WALK YOUR DOGS ON OUR GROUNDS.
The First Team take the spoils in the derby and leave Hanna Field with all 3 points.
