A CHARITY football match will support a local cause.

Teams captained by tradesmen Jaimie Ashley and Aydan Evans will play a game of charity football with popular trade influencers - all in support of Barnsley Hospice.

Local companies OB1 and Siroflex envisioned the idea for a tussle of the trades, whilst supporting a charity close to their hearts.

The family-friendly match is free to attend and promises fun, raffles and most importantly, football.

There will exciting games, including penalty shootouts - where lucky participants can win anything from merchandise to thousands of pounds of vouchers.

It will kick-off on Friday, October 31, at 12pm, at the Barnsley College Sports Academy.

Organisers encouraged locals to get together for a fun day out, whilst supporting the hospice.

Those who can’t make the match can donate to the event’s Just Giving page, currently sitting at just over half of their £5,000 target.

Jaimie Ashley said: “I can’t put into words how it feels, it’s crazy.

“The nice thing is being able to bring people from across the country to get involved and raise some money for a good cause.

“Some of the players are travelling hours from Scotland.

“The players mentioned it’s cold now and maybe you don’t get out as much.

“Mentally, it’s a good thing to get together and play a game of football.”
