For the 9th year, Heritage Day’s festivities on the field will include the popular “Soccer Challenge”.

The Southborough chapter of The Knights of Columbus hosts the annual free competition for kids and teens.

The competition will run from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm on Monday, October 13th. 

Anyone aged 6-16 is welcome to shoot penalty shots on St. Mark’s field. Participation, as always, is free for all!

As usual, players are allowed to take 10 shots at the goal from the penalty line. Players are then scored for kicking goals into the marked corners of the goal nets. Medals will be awarded for high scoring participants.
