Triumphant Sport di Strada launches DLLT Community Festival
The Denis Law Legacy Trust Community Festival kicked off in high spirits on Friday with Streetsport’s annual Sport di Strada tournament.
The tournament, named in honour of Denis Law’s period of playing in Italy, brings together young people from around the city where Denis Law Legacy Trust operates in to compete against each other in a fun, but competitive, tournament.
It marked the beginning of the 2023 Denis Law Legacy Trust Community Festival at Aberdeen Sports Village, offering free family sport and activities for children, families, teens and adults over the summer.
The tournament saw 12 teams over two leagues vying for top spots. Once the dust had settled, Northfield triumphed once again in the younger tournament and in the older age group, George Street Astro claimed the Sport di Strada trophy after a nail-biting final against Dee United.
The awards were handed out by Aberdeen FC’s most successful captain and Denis Law Legacy Trust ambassador, Willie Miller, alongside one of the club’s current central defenders Angus MacDonald.
Thanks must go to the generosity of Co-Op Aberdeen who supplied refreshments for the event with fresh fruit and water and Central Coaches who provided free transport for all the teams taking part.
The support from key partners such as Co-Op and Central Coaches are an integral part of the Trust’s model of supplying free activity for Aberdeen’s youngsters. It’s hugely appreciated and we’re very thankful for their continued support.
Thanks also to Aberdeen Sports Village for their partnership in delivering the Community Festival and to Jake Irvine for his images from the day. For more in-game images please view here.
