Just days to go before charity football match kicks off

There are only a few days to go before a charity football match kicks off to raise money for a mental health charity.

The game, on Sunday (August 30) and organised by The Ship Inn, will take place at The Rec playing fields in Greasbrough and is due to start at noon.

The charity football match - to support Mind - is between The Ship Inn FC and The Ship Inn Customers and Regulars.

There will also be food, entertainment, a raffle and an auction with prizes including tickets to York Races, a Luis Suárez signed picture and a Kell Brook signed boxing glove.

DJ Jake-e will also perform.

A spokesperson said: “The interest and support surrounding this event has been absolutely amazing, and the message has travelled further than we ever expected.

“Get yourselves down, bring the family, bring your mates and come and support an incredible cause while having a brilliant day with the community.

“This whole event is about bringing our community together, raising awareness around mental health and suicide, and raising as much money as possible for Mind.

“If you can’t make it on Sunday, you can still make a difference. Please follow the donation links across The Ship’s social media pages and donate whatever you can. Every single donation counts.”
