A CREDITON AFC Reserves team will take part in a memorial football tournament at Exmouth Football Club on Sunday, September 9.

It is being held in memory of Kim Baker, who had connections with the Crediton area and there will also be a fun day.

Kate Collett-Hughes, explained: “Kim was my cousin and she died of ovarian cancer at Searle House in Exeter.

“I have organised the event to raise money in her memory for the charity, Hospiscare.

“Kim was from Tiverton, where she lived with her husband and son.

“Her mum lives in Copplestone and her brother, Jason Cliff, is originally from Crediton.”

She added: “As well as a five-a-side football tournament, there are lots of attractions for families which are all being supported by local businesses.

“They have donated sponsorship and raffle prizes.”

Kate said that the event will run from 12 noon until late and as well as the five-a-side football will include face painting, a bouncy castle, food and drink, ice creams, raffle, stalls, disco and bar.

• Evans Newsagents in Crediton has a collection box on the counter for donations for the appeal.
