The AFC Kempston Colts management team made us all very welcome indeed. Due to the successful night, both teams will be making this a yearly event and the trophy which was kindly supplied by AFC Kempston Colts will be known as the 'Andrew Wilson Memorial Trophy'. This is in memory of Andrew who worked at the Bedford EOC who sadly died recently."
