Alderton Charity Football 2017
2017 Charity Football match report
Another great year of Married v Single Men charity football, this year as NATO v the USSR. A narrow 7-0 defeat for the Married’s wasn’t a fair reflection of the game but even with 15 players on the pitch we still couldn’t grab that elusive goal. Congratulations to Caty Sterling-Lee who was both Man of the Match and the first-ever Non-Man to play. £1,200 was raised for Auditory Verbal UK www.avuk.org, Matt Greaves has lost his carefully coiffured locks and Rob Hayden didn't injure anyone. Bring on 2018!
