The Drayton Motors Ryan Featherstone Memorial Football Match

Ryan Featherstone Memorial Football Match – Event Overview

Join us as we come together to celebrate the life, spirit and legacy of Ryan Featherstone with a special memorial football match filled with community, laughter, memories and the things Ryan loved most — good football, good company, and a good evening out.

This event isn’t just a game. It’s a chance for everyone who knew Ryan — family, friends, teammates, colleagues and the wider community — to stand together, share stories, and make him proud.

Expect a competitive but friendly game played in true Ryan style — full of energy, passion and plenty of heart.

• Two teams made up of Ryan’s colleagues - Chris's Crusaders v Reeves's Rockets
• A respectful pre‑match moment to honour Ryan
• Fun, spirited football that reflects the way he played and lived

Whether you’re on the pitch or cheering from the sidelines, the atmosphere will be something special.

We’re creating an evening that feels like Ryan — warm, lively and full of connection.

• Social drinks in Ellenders after the game
• Raffle
• Space to gather, chat and share memories

This is a celebration as much as a memorial.

No community match is complete without great food and drink.

• Hot food available throughout the event
• Snacks, sweets and soft drinks
• All proceeds supporting the charity that Ryan's family have chosen - Shine Lincolnshire

Ryan meant a lot to so many people. His kindness, humour, loyalty and love for football brought people together in a way few can. This memorial match is our way of:

• Celebrating his life
• Honouring his memory
• Supporting his family
• Keeping his spirit alive in the community

Most importantly, it’s a day to stand side by side and show just how much he is loved and missed.

Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your voice — and let’s fill the day with the kind of energy Ryan would have loved. Whether you knew him well or are simply coming to support the community, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

Let’s play, laugh, remember and make Ryan proud.
