The boys team had already scored 6 before the adults got their first touch of the ball. Sarah who helped to organise the event said: ‘The game finished at 11-3 to the boys team who still looked ready for action,whereas we were ready to call for paramedics for some of the unfit adults.’
Huge amount of family & friends came to support and put their hands in their pockets. There was a raffle after the game and together they raised a fantastic amount of £300. More information about the match can be found here.
We want to thank the family and the Club for allowing this event to happen!
