A special fixture to mark the centenary of Watford's move to Vicarage Road raised thousands for two good causes
The Centurions squad consisted of players who had donated a minimum of £100 to play for at least an hour, with the donations split between Peace Hospice Care and the Hornets’ Community Sports & Education Trust. Further fundraising at the event was in aid of the Peace Hospice.
The Hornets’ representative side took to the field in the club’s commemorative black and white striped VR100 kit while their opponents wore a replica of the yellow, red and green hoops Watford played in during its time at the West Herts club.The commemorative fixture had originally been due to be played in September but was postponed following the death of the Queen.
Formerly part of the estate of the Earls of Essex, the Park Avenue location was transformed into a sports ground in 1890, becoming West Herts Sports Club on August 28, 1922 under a deed of trust.Prior to then, the site was the home of Watford FC, who moved to Vicarage Road after leaving Cassio Road in the same year.
