This year’s much-anticipated annual football clash between CSKA FC TM and Sloane FC will see the two rivals face off in a spirited contest, all in support of the Tom Mann Foundation. Adding to the friendly rivalry, The Brunel proudly sponsor CSKA FC TM, while Leadbelly’s Bar & Kitchen back Sloane FC. The victorious team will take home the coveted trophy to display in their pub until next year’s showdown.

The Tom Mann Foundation was formed to honour the memory of Tom Mann, whose impact went far beyond the pitch. Tom was deeply involved with local charities, organising food collections, charity runs, and coffee mornings for causes such as Age UK. His generous spirit and love for his community continue to inspire all who knew him.

After Tom’s passing, his family and friends were determined that his legacy should empower the next generation of footballers, nurture talent, and support grassroots football. The Foundation was born out of this belief, with a mission to make the beautiful game more accessible to all.

The Foundation's Mission:

We are committed to empowering grassroots football by providing support and funding to nurture talent, build community, and ensure that the joy of football is available to everyone. Through the Foundation, we aim to contribute to the construction of training facilities, as well as providing local teams with equipment, kits, and other necessities.

Tom’s story continues to inspire us every day, and we invite you to join us in carrying forward his legacy. Your support—whether big or small—will help us make a lasting impact on local football communities, just as Tom did throughout his life.

Please give whatever you can to support this worthy cause and help us continue Tom's mission of making football accessible, inclusive, and empowering for all.
