So this just proves that grassroots doesn't matter to them, all about getting people back in seats watching the game, instead of getting people back playing it.

It is with great sadness to inform everyone regarding our former Club Secretary Graham Preston who sadly passed away after a short illness.
Graham has been an integral part of the running of Lower Hopton AFC for many year's. We send all our love to Graham's wife and family.
RIP
