Jim Loftus, of Ross Junior Football Club represented a souvenir shirt to a recent visitor. Paul Marshall from Leominster is a ‘Groundhopper’ – someone who goes to as many different grounds as possible, Paul visits not only professional clubs but also non league and grassroots clubs and at each club he collects a memento from his visit.

Paul was given a tour of the club and provided with VIP treatment including the presentation of a club shirt. He certainly picked a good game to watch as the men’s team beat Pegasus Colts 6-5 after extra time in a cup game.

Paul said: “What a great day and I was treated like royalty. One of the best grassroots clubs that I have been to.”See this week’s paper for more stories like this, available in shops and as a Digital Edition now.
