The winner will be getting a magnificent trophy and there will be cash prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. So please come along for a good night and help the SEC help the club.

SEC STANDING ORDER SCHEME

The SEC appreciates the help all supporters give to golden goals and 50/50 draws. In order to keep a regular income coming to help Crusaders we have started a standing order scheme where anyone can donate on a regular monthly basis. There is no set amount it can be a little or as much as you wish to give. This type of scheme has proved popular and profitable at other clubs and will be a great help particularly over the summer when the SEC has nothing coming in but the bills still have to be paid. We would ask you to click on the link and print off a form to fill in. If you so wish this can be done anonymously as it is between you and your bank. So thanks in anticipation and click on the following link to print off the form.
