Annual Clergy And Imams Football Match

EDM number 1486 in 2005-06, proposed by Peter Soulsby on 26/01/2006.

That this House congratulates the clergy and imams of Leicester who competed against each other in a recent football match; commends the imams who, being in a winning position, generously lent several of their players to the opposition during the second half; thanks Tony Nelson of the Leicester Hebrew Congregation for his impeccable refereeing, Inspector Nick Glynn of Leicestershire Constabulary for playing vigorously for both teams and the Lord Mayor of Leicester for presenting the Shield; recognises the substantial sums raised for Christian and Muslim appeals in Malawi and for the Lord Mayor's Appeal; further commends the Leicester Christian-Muslim Dialogue Group, particularly Suleman Nagdi MBE of the Federation of Muslim Organisations and Canon Dr Andrew Wingate for organising the event and the associated tournament which involved hundreds of local schoolchildren; and encourages the clergy to train harder during the forthcoming year in preparation for the second annual match.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
