Football fans holding fundraising match at Stadium of Light

A group of 30 men are planning to play at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday evening.

Robbie Yoxall, one of the players, said they all paid about £100 each to hire the pitch, so decided they may as well use the game to raise money for charity.

Family and friends are being urged to make a donation of £1 to buy a ticket, and all the money made will be donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Robbie said: “We just thought as we were playing anyway, we might as well raise some money. Anyone is welcome to come along and watch.”

Robbie’s team, Un-Real United, will take on Haven’t Got a Kalou.

The May 31 match kicks off at 7.45pm. Advance tickets are available from Robbie on 07745672639.
