Matlock Town Juniors Football Club is to continue its long-standing partnership with Longcliffe Quarries Ltd – the local company is boosting the Club’s summer festival with headline sponsorship.

The 2025 Football Festival will take place over two days – 14 and 15 June, with both boys’ and girls’ sides taking part, from Under 7s through to Under 15s.

The Club’s Nick Newbury says, “There are over 150 teams taking part this year. With each team consisting of eight or more players, we look forward to welcoming them and their family and friends from all over Derbyshire and further afield. We aim to make this a festival to remember.”

Longcliffe’s involvement with this successful community club goes back several years, with the most recent project being the company’s support for the fund-raising for a new Astroturf surface. The Astroturf means that the Club is now fully subscribed at peak times enabling more girls and boys from the local area to play football on a modern, safe surface.

Longcliffe Group Managing Director Paul Boustead adds, “As an independent family-owned company, we are keen to support the local community wherever we can. We congratulate Matlock Town Juniors FC which is going from strength to strength as an important community sports club. Not only are players enjoying the new Astroturf all weather surface, the Club is also continuing to grow – it now has 29 teams and over 500 boys and girls regularly getting involved in the sport.”
