Prince William has officially inaugurated a new access road for Mousehole AFC, a rural football club in Cornwall. This road will significantly enhance access for players and fans alike, replacing an old pathway that suffered from serious potholes.
Contribution to Local Football Club
The Duke of Cornwall became involved after learning about the club’s challenges through a news article. Mousehole AFC struggled to raise funds for a new access road to their home ground at Interiora Trungle Parc.
