To celebrate winning an incredible league and cup treble, Woodstock Park FC are inviting people to join them at their Kent Science Park home to watch England's first match of the 2010 World Cup.

The event will also help raise money for charity as 10p from every drink and 50p from every burger sold will go straight to Demelza House Children's Hospice in Sittingbourne.

On Bank Holiday Monday the club won the Weald of Kent Senior Cup final, adding the trophy to their Kent County League Division One East title and the Eastern League Cup which had already been wrapped up.

It means back-to-back promotions for Woodstock Park, who kick off next season in the Kent County League Premier Division for the first time in their history.

Club chairman Maurice Dunk, who has been involved with Woodstock Park FC since its inception in 2001 and parent club Old Oak FC for 40 years, organised the event to celebrate the club's achievements.

He said: "The lads' achievement this year has been absolutely incredible. They've played with real grit and determination and thoroughly deserve all the plaudits they're getting.

"Woodstock Park FC is more than just a football club it's a part of this community, and we wanted to celebrate our success with the people of Sittingbourne and the surrounding villages, while also doing something to recognise the hard work of one of Kent's most worthwhile charitable causes.

"That's why we're having our awards ceremony on the night of England's first World Cup game and inviting everyone to come along and join us in cheering the country to victory over the USA."

The doors will open at 5pm tomorrow (Saturday) and the England match will start at 7.30pm.

Afterwards there will be an awards ceremony for the players and karaoke until late. There will also be barbecue food.
