Be a Knockout with Frank
Boxer Frank Bruno will be at funday
A CHARITY football match that's starring former heavyweight boxing champ Frank Bruno is looking to sign up a local six-a-side team.
The event, taking place in Stewkley on July 18, has been let down after a celebrity team pulled out.
Now the organiser, community support officer Tina Hobson, is looking for a replacement team. You don't have to be a professional side but you must be up for a day of fun.
Frank, who lives in Billington, will be appearing at the funday to help raise funds for Child Victims of Crime, a national police charity.
Six football teams will be taking part in the tournament, including staff from Thames Valley Police, Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, Aylesbury Vale District Council, a leisure centre in Buckinghamshire and a local team from Stewkley,
As well as the football tournament, there will be an auction and a raffle with prizes including a signed football shirt from former MK Dons player Nigel Quashie, two tickets to watch a game at Luton Town FC, a stadium tour and museum visit for four people at Liverpool FC and much more.
During the event, a barbecue, ice-cream van, bouncy castle and fun fair stalls will be available.
As well as Frank Bruno's support for the event, two players from MK Lions basketball club will be coming to show off their skills, give tips to the children in the Multi Use Games Area and donate a signed item to the auction or raffle.
PCSO Hobson, said: "This event is a community event where everyone is invited to come along and enjoy a day of competitive football, fun and ultimately raise as much money as possible for Child Victims of Crime.
"There will be loads of activities going on, as well as the football for everyone of all ages to enjoy, with great prizes for the raffle and auction.
"I hope as many people as possible come along with their family and friends and have a great day out.
"We need one more team to take part otherwise we'll have all sorts of problems arranging games on the day.
"It just has to be a fun side – six celebrities would have been great but now we're looking for anyone willing to take part."
The event will take place at The Pavilion, Stewkley Recreation Ground, Soulbury Road, Stewkley, from 2pm.
