Fun and football help Jude battle cancer
A FAMILY fun day and football tournament held over two consecutive weekends raised money for a charity which is helping a schoolboy fight cancer.
Greasbrough Youth Football Club hosted the event at its ground on Roughwood Road Playing Fields.
The event was run in conjunction with a team of Rotherham fundraisers known as Team Jude, who have been raising funds for Ward 6 at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

Over the past year, Team Jude has raised more than £50,000 for the charity through different events.
The latest fundraiser raised £4,438 for the charity and saw Jude and his family get involved in the penalty shoot-out stall and inflatable sumo wrestling contest.
