Limpley Stoke extend Obama invitation

Limpley Stoke are to invite US President-elect Barack Obama to watch a game at Monkton Combe when he next visits the UK. "We are very proud of what Barack Obama has achieved and respect what he has done," said LSCC treasurer Craig Underdown.

"We plan to send him a letter of congratulations and invite him to come to a game at Monkton Combe the next time he is in the UK," added Underdown.

Obama was elected the first African-American US president on Tuesday with a resounding win over Republican rival John McCain. A keen sports fan, Obama's 10-year-old daughter Malia plays for a girls' football team in Chicago.

The President-elect last visited Britain in July when he met Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Conservative leader David Cameron. At that time he would have been unable to have watched LSCC as it was raining.
