PICTURE: The East Berkshire League and Slough Town F.C. has partnered up to bring a four-game Showcase Match series to the Arbour Park Stadium in Slough, starting with a clash between old rivals Chalvey Sports F.C. and Langley F.C on Saturday 30th November (7.30pm).


The East Berkshire Football League has teamed up with Slough Town F.C to bring a series of Showcase Match events to the Arbour Park Stadium in Slough this season.

The new partnership will see four games in the Premier Division played at the home of The Rebels, starting with a clash of old rivals, Chalvey Sports and Langley F.C on Saturday 30th November (7.30pm kick off).

The Showcase Match provides a unique opportunity for players in the East Berkshire League to compete in a Non-League stadium, often for the very first time, and for clubs to promote themselves to the wider football community.

And, this season the E.B.F.L is proud to announce that revenue generated from ticket sales will be donated to two chosen charities; Thames Hospice and Sport In Mind. 

Robert Stevens is the General Secretary at the E.B.F.L. He beamed: “We’re thrilled and extremely thankful to the team at Slough Town F.C to have the chance to bring our Showcase Match events into the heart of Slough at Arbour Park. 

“The stadium represents some of the best footballing facilities in our area, and so it will be a privilege for our teams and players to show off their talents and abilities at Arbour Park.

“The Showcase Match was an instant success when first introduced in 2022 and has gone from strength to strength with crowds into the hundreds coming out to support their local clubs as well as the local grassroots league.

This collaboration reinforces our commitment, since securing our 50-year lease, to connect with the broader community and make our stadium more accessible.

“As a football fan, I’m truly excited for these fixtures, which promise to bring thrilling entertainment for local fans.”

Sandhurst F.C Royals and A.F.C Reading are two teams full of young and emerging talent, and both have made a tremendous start to their Premier Division campaigns following promotion in the summer. The two sides will help to restart the season after the Christmas Break with a Showcase Match on Friday 31st January 2025.

Frontline F.C and F.C Baylis United help represent the Asian Community in Slough and will go head-to-head for bragging rights in what will no doubt be a hotly contested derby match at Arbour Park on Friday 28th February 2025.

A fourth match in the Showcase series will be planned for May 2025 and with the aim to raise more funds for both Thames Hospice and Sport In Mind.
