Grand result at big charity footie game

-

A charity football match helped raise more than £1000 as players looked to kick out cancer.

A Lanarkshir­e Cancer Care Trust side took on North Motherwell AFC and raised £1050 for the Wishaw charity.

Lanarkshir­e Cancer Care Trust provide a volunteer driver service across North Lanarkshir­e helping patients attend appointmen­ts or treatment on time.

With LCCT needing to raise £250,000 every year to run the service a lot of fundraisin­g must be organised.

The match finished with a 7-2 victory for North Motherwell AFC.

But the charity came out the real winner.

A spokespers­on from LCCT said:“We have to raise £250,000 but 85 per cent of that must be raised through donations and events.

“We’re lucky to have patients and their families arrange events to help us fundraise because it keeps us going.”
