FC Willowbrook

Official Club Statement:

A message from your Founder & Captain - Luke Grounds.

In 2023 I achieved a dream in playing a charity football match in memory of my Dad Andrew Grounds who accessed Willowbrook Hospice’s services in 2009.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that one off match against North West Community Stars Football Club would culminate in me forming a football club on behalf of Willowbrook but we did through the help and support of FC St Helens .

From September 2023 - 2025 we played a series of matches against teams and others charities raising vital funds for Willowbrook and others raising a total of £5,166.09.

As a father of a young family I feel now is the right time to step down and give my family the time they deserve as they’ve given up so much to allow me to pursuethis venture. I am confident FC Willowbrook will continue in some capacity whether that be through myself in the future or somebody else.

The flag of Willowbrook will always fly.

“Every contact counts”

Thank you for the memories and all your love and support, you’ll never know how much it means.

Luke X ⚽️💚💙
