Memorial Match for Rod Powell

Nelson Cavaliers FC have announced a Memorial Match for one of the Wales Veterans Football Association founder members, Rod Rowell, who sadly passed away year ago this week.

This is a fitting tribute to Rod, an exuberant, energetic and knowledgeable man, who devoted almost 40 years to his local club, Nelson Cavaliers, and he leaves an enduring legacy. He was a player, manager, chairman, secretary and inspiration to those around him. He was a founder member of Wales Veterans Football, became an ad-hoc committee member in 2016 and was honoured with a life vice-presidency in 2019. He was a member of the SW Premier Leagues’ Management Board since 2021 and also served the wider Nelson community, becoming a councillor in 2018 and later chairman

The organisers are asking for £10 per player with all funds going to Charity!
