A WALKING football tournament will be held on the astroturf pitches at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre on Sunday, September 4, in aid of Crediton Food Bank.

Six local teams will play each other during the course of the afternoon and the two sides with the most points will contest the final at 5.15pm.

Julian Gebler explained: “The matches will be six-a-side and last for 40 minutes. Squads can have up to 10 players with rolling substitutes.

“The day is intended to be both a fundraiser for the Food Bank and an awareness raiser for the new Springboard project associated with the Food Bank.

“The tournament is being actively supported by both Crediton Football Club and Lords Meadow Leisure Centre.

“The Football Club will provide a barbecue and bar facilities for the afternoon, which will start at 2pm and end at 6pm.

“This will be the perfect opportunity to watch some ageing local superstars showcase their skills, all performed at no more than a trot!

“If anyone would like to enter a team please email me at: [email protected] or telephone 01363 773650.

“Each team will be expected to contribute £50 to the donation fund.”
