Well, didn’t you do well! Thank you for everyone who has donated and your massive support, we’re sure the raffle will raise a good portion of the days money. Special thanks to Mary Casey and Catherine in securing many of the prizes, and thanks to everyone else that has donated. If you’re a raffle ticket seller, please print this page and take it with you as a handy reminder of what could be won when you come to selling the tickets.

So here we are, only 2 weeks before the big match between Mos Eisley FC and “Ace Squad”. The press conference has come and gone, and despite Jay’s best efforts in mediating, things are heating up between the two sides already. Shots have been fired, digs have been thrown. Banter on the Facebook feed is in full flow. We have a Denis Canty, denied football for the past few years chomping at the bit to get at Ace Squad’s backline. Will he hit a hat-trick on his first appearance on English soil? We also have an over-confident Chesh a.k.a House Chesh a.k.a PC35 laughing in the faces of his opponents. But if there’s one takeaway from the live press conference, apart from Matt “Unbelievable Jeff!” de Lima asking “What’s happening (man)?”, it has to be Darren Stewart with “Sean why are you praising up the opposition your meant to be our fearless leader?” and Liam Sullivan chipping in with simply “#SEANOUT”. The Ace Squad dressing room is lost already boys. Sort it out! 😉

If you missed the video or aren’t on Facebook, you can catch a recording of the press conference below. Special thanks to Sean’s Mum for the table cloth and Britta filter.

The David Kingston cup and family fun day is the first annual charity football match in aid of The Cystic fibrosis trust and Macmillan cancer care.

David Kingston was cruelly taken away from us last year after a short, brave battle with cancer and a heroic lifelong battle with Cystic fibrosis. This day is for him, his family, his friends and anyone else affected by Cancer or Cystic fibrosis, to remember him and others and to raise as much money as we can to make sure that we stop losing people we love to these illnesses.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition affecting more than 10,000 people across the UK. It affects the lungs and digestive system and can cause chronic infections and reduced lung function. Currently, half of those with CF will not live past age 41.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is fighting for a brighter future for people with CF and their families by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones every step of the way.

Saturday the 6th of July will see the first annual David Kingston cup and family fun day. With all proceeds from the day going to the Cystic Fybrosis Trust and Macmillan cancer support. The day will be held at Pyners Close Playing Field:
