A Football match between a team of Herts police officers and residents from the Sele Farm area of Hertford will kick off a family fun day being held in the town on Saturday, April 18.

The free event, which will be held at the grounds of Hertford Town FC on West Street, starts at 11am.

It has been organised by PC Mark Bullen and PC Andrew Palfreyman from the Hertford Neighbourhood Team, who set up the squad for people in Sele Farm in January. Both teams will be competing for the East Herts District Council Challenge Cup

PC Mark Bullen said: “This is going to be a great day for the local community and I would urge all local residents to come along and take part in the fun activities. I’m sure it will be a thrilling game between the two sides, with lots of friendly competition for the cup! It will also be a great chance to meet your local officers, discuss any local issues and get crime prevention advice.”

As well as the football match, there will also be other sporting events, a tug of war, face painting and refreshments. Officers from the Hertford Neighbourhood Team will also be on hand to talk with residents and the mobile police station will be on site so residents can get crime prevention advice and get their property marked with a UV pen for free.

The event will then finish with a match between Hertford Town FC vs. Kingsbury London Tigers in the Molten Spartan South Midlands Football League, which starts at 3pm*.

About Sele Farm FC

Mark and Andrew set up the 11-a side team up at the beginning of the year, in an effort to reduce crime in the area through sport. After being awarded £1500 from the East Herts Joint Action Group*, they recruited local players, 16-years old and upwards, and have carried out numerous training sessions. The team will play their matches in the East Herts Corinthian Sunday Football League with effect from the 2009/2010 season.

The kit worn by the squad has been designed following a competition by The Sele School pupils and team wear and equipment has been provided by www.zapkam.com.

PC Andrew Palfreyman said: “Over the last four months we have worked hard with Sele Farm residents to establish the team and it has given local people something really constructive to do. It has had a noticeable impact on the area and it has helped us make some really strong links with the community. I’m really grateful for the continued support of Sele Farm residents with this project.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mick Clarke, Chairman of Hertford Town FC, East Herts District Council and Will Pedrick from www.zapkam.com for all their help in organising the event.”

The East Herts Joint Action Group is made up of members including Hertfordshire Constabulary, East Herts Council, Hertfordshire County Council and Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

What size gloves do you wear?
Size 7

What is your preferred choice of gloves?
Surround Roll IGS Contact Foam 5mm

How many pair of gloves do you take to a match?
3 - one to warm up in, match gloves and aqua pair incase of rain.

How often do you change your gloves?
Varies on wear and time of year, match gloves about once a month.

Any tips on glove care?
Always set aside a different pair for training and warm ups, and leave in hot water after a game, then dry naturally.  Never put them on a radiator, i did and forgot about a pair once-i had to peel them off!

How can I preserve the life of my glove?
Improve your catching technique, if you can cushion the ball into your hands then alot the wear and tear reduces as you don’t have the scrubbing effect on the foam.

How do you warm up for a match?
My goalkeeper coach uses a pre-determined set warm-up routine, starting on aerobic exercises.  As the warm up continues the drills are more goalkeeper movement specific, and all aspects of the game are covered, i.e passing, kicking, crosses, shot stopping and dynamic movemnts.

Have you got any special preparations before a game?
My pre-match and during the game nutrition is always the same, i make sure i have at least a 40 minute warm-up and come in from it 15 minutes early to get myself in the right frame of mind for it.  I make sure we all huddle before kick off and give them specific instructions, it’s all in the preparation.

What do you eat before a game?
Beans on toast for breakfast, then a yoghurt, banana and energy bar before and during the warm up and at half time, always with at least 2L of water/energy drink.

Do you have any superstitions?
I always touch the crossbar before the start of every half, even when i go out to warm up.
