Andy Ruscoe (who has put a lot of hard work in planning this event) has just asked me to put this on here regarding next month’s charity match: On Sunday 31st March the Offside Trust will be facing a Hollyoaks XI at the Swansway to raise money for the Offside Trust charity. The Offside Trust was established in 2016 following high-profile revelations about child sexual abuse in football. This organisation is committed to supporting survivors of abuse and working to make sport safer for children. Names such as Trevor Sinclair, Danny Murphy, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and former blue Lee Trundle are all set to play in this fixture, with other well-known names due to be announced soon. Also, to add an extra bit of spice to this game the Offside Trust XI will be managed by our very own Bern and Jonno. Tickets are on sale now where the confirmed prices are as follows: Adults - £10 5-17 year olds - £3 Under-5’s - FREE.
Kick off is at 14:30 on Sunday 31st March, so if you have got nothing to do that afternoon then please consider heading down to the Swansway to support this brilliant charity.

Be great to see lots in attendance for this match.
For one it raises great publicity and awareness, but also it's a chance to enjoy the occasion too, a healthy distraction from our league matches this season.
A lot of hard work has gone into getting this game on and it would be great reward for those who have put in a massive effort to bring this match to fruition.

Just a quick bump on this. The match takes place at 14:30 tomorrow and I urge as many of you as possible to get down to the Swansway once again to support this brilliant charity.
