Bob Trevor Memorial Match & Football Beyond Boarders

Bob Trevor was the glue that held COB together. Bob was one of those remarkable people who seemed to hold so many roles at once. Manager, mentor, secretary, referee (though some of our lads may have questioned his proficiency in that one), & friend.

Harpenden Colts Old Boys was originally formed by Steve Oakley & Bob in 2008, after several of his old youth team returned from university looking to establish a team. The foundations laid down by Steve were built upon by Bob and we too had the chance to play for Colts again. In 2019, Bob worked hard with COB's Will to form a reserve team, and COBR was born. Two cups were secured in our inaugural year, with another to follow in the second. Two covid hit seasons, three trophies and about a thousand Sunday morning hangovers later, the team is still going strong. For this, we can only thank Bob Trevor.

Bob had a strong passion for grassroots football and believed in the benefits of providing the chance to play football for all ages. This was shown not only through the creation of COB but also the countless years helping Harpenden Colts FC. This is why we have chosen Football Beyond Boarders this year as our charity.
