Friday 30th May saw 32 prime athletes grace the turf at St Mary's in aid of Finley and Home Start.
The game started at a frenetic pace but quickly settled in a rhythm that suited the age bracket.
A solid red comeback before half time saw the teams nearly go in level at the break, but the pitch and fitness started to take its toll in the second period where the blue team scored a couple more than the reds.
Charity was the winner on the day!
Join us at the home of the Saints on Friday 30th May for a feast of football. Please view the causes we are playing for below.
Finley was born with a rare genetic condition called lymphangioma which affects his face and airway meaning he has a tracheostomy to support his breathing. Finley spent the first six months of his life in hospital at Southampton and then Poole but since then has been living life to the fullest and progressing amazingly. Despite his parents being told that he may not talk, eat or even walk he has defied the odds and done all of these things and more.
Unfortunately Finley suffered a massive seizure in January, unrelated to his existing condition, which has resulted in significant brain damage and he now has to relearn to walk, talk and eat again which will require extensive rehabilitation therapy.”
A big thanks to the following for sponsoring this years event.
