Carling Pub Awards

Last updated : 10 June 2007 By Editor
Carling is set to honour some of Britain's least recognised football heroes with an award developed to bring attention to a huge but often underestimated part of the game - Pub Football.

In the midst of numerous awards focusing on the cream of Premiership talent, Carling's Pub Football Awards will celebrate some of the often overlooked sporting triumphs taking place every weekend in parks across the UK.

The inaugural Pub Football Awards will give pub football players, League Administrators and fans the opportunity to put forward their colleagues and teams for the following categories:

  • Carling Pub Football Player of the Year
  • Carling Pub Football Team of the Year
  • Carling Pub Football Manager of the Year
  • Carling Pub Football Administrator of the Year
  • Carling Pub Football Award for the Team Most in Need of Help

    The awards accompany the launch of Carling's Pub Football Community which will allow players and administrators to set-up a free website for their team or league; complete with player profiles, a manager's blog and video footage.

    Mark Clemmit, BBC Radio Five Live reporter and one of Awards' judging panel said:
    "Every week, hundreds of thousands of pub players turn out for their team because, quite simply, they love the game of football. We reckon that they, along with the team managers, deserve to be recognised so I'd encourage people to get their entries in for the inaugural Carling Pub Football Awards".

    Rich Smith, Carling Sponsorship Manager, said: "Pub football is a great leveller, a chance to prove your skills and share your moment of glory with your mates - it doesn't matter where the game's being played or how many people are watching. For most of us, pub football is how we play football and we want to give that community the respect it deserves."
