Taunton Town Football Club is delighted to welcome Taunton School and King’s College to Wordsworth Drive on Wednesday, 23 September, for a very special evening of football, fundraising and community celebration.
The two schools will go head-to-head for the inaugural Barnaby Webber Cup, with kick-off at 7pm. Entry to the match is FREE, and we’re inviting the whole community to come along and support what promises to be a memorable night at the club.
Supporting the Barnaby Webber Foundation
The match is being held in support of the Barnaby Webber Foundation, a charity established to provide funding to grassroots sports clubs, with a particular focus on cricket.
A bucket collection will take place around the ground during the evening, giving supporters the opportunity to make a donation to the Foundation and help support grassroots sport.
You can find out more about the Barnaby Webber Foundation at barnabywebberfoundation.co.uk.
The Final Stop on the Lion Trail
The evening will also mark the final event of the hugely successful World Cup Lion Trail, which has been followed by thousands of Taunton schoolchildren throughout the summer.
As part of the Lion Trail, young artists from Bishop Fox’s, Monkton Wood, GoCreate, King’s College and UCS have created their own unique lions, inspired by the FIFA World Cup and displayed across the local community.
Now, you’ll have the chance to own one.
The lions will be displayed in the Taunton Town clubhouse during the evening, with supporters able to purchase their favourite. All proceeds from the sale of the lions will go to the Barnaby Webber Foundation.

The clubhouse bar and club shop will be open, while all of our wonderful matchday food vendors will also be in attendance, including the ever-popular TTISA pasty van.
