Football event in aid of Save the Children

Tenants of Aberdeen’s Prime Four business park will be staging a charity football tournament in aid of Save the Children.

behalf of the global children’s charity.

She will lace up her trainers for the 26.2-mile run on April 26.

Before that, all the tenants of the Prime Four site will go head to head in a five-a-side football tournament.

One of the businesses, CNOOC International, boasts its own on-site outdoor pitch which will play host to the tournament.

Kicking off on March 9, the Prime Four community will come together to raise awareness for Save the Children.

Each participant at the event will receive a complimentary raffle ticket for the chance to win some great prizes such as a signed Aberdeen FC shirt, a training session with AFC children’s programme manager Liam McGarry, a piece of signed Willie Miller metal wall art and a sports massage.

Ms Eagar is hoping the event will become an annual occurrence, with the event’s winners being asked to choose the charity for the following year.
