A FOOTBALL tournament on Sunday marks the official opening of refurbished Blacksnape pitches.

Nine full-size football pitches, a new drainage system, together with pitch improvement work and a new changing pavilion have been included in the project.

The new pavilion will also provide improved parking and community facilities.

The £700,000 scheme was funded by the council and Football Foundation.
