Charity Football Match raises £1000 to fight Crohn's Disease

Last Monday, the charity match, in aid of Crohn's and Colitis UK, saw Milford on Sea Youth FC parents and managers play Highcliffe Hawkes parents and managers. 

The event was sponsored by The Beach House and Christchurch Harbour Hotel, and a cracking game ended in a 7-6 win to the Highcliffe Hawkes.

Event organiser, Adam Humphreys said: "We were delighted to raise over £1000 thanks to the support we had from the local community and sponsors.

What an amazing turnout from everyone, and big thanks to our friends (and rivals) in William Walsh and Mike Green for getting a Highcliffe Hawkes team together for this to able to happen.

Warm thanks also go to Jimmy Sheppard, Michael Crowther, AJ, Sophie Garner, Lee & Sarah Woodcock, and my amazing other half Megan Hynd for that little bit more. A special thanks go to Ralph 'aka Ryan Sheps' for what can only be described as one hell of a clearance, my brother, Josh Humphreys for one of the best own goals to ever be scored!, and all of the 19 Milford guys who took the time to come out and lace up their boots, much appreciated!"

Donations for the event are still being collected. Please click here.

Adam now looks forward to making this an annual event.
