DORCHESTER Town supporters will go head-to-head tomorrow in a bid to raise funds for their beloved club.
Two teams of county town followers will take to the Jewson Stadium pitch (11am) with each player donating a sum of £15 towards to the club kitty.
A similar match, in aid of the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, took place last year and had to be settled via the penalty spot after finishing 2-2.
Dev Ward, who will manage one of this year’s teams, was part of the wining side last time out and is hoping for a repeat show.
He said: “We had a similar match last year that successfully raised money for charity and it was decided that we would raise money for the club by using a similar principle. With each player contributing £15, plus any takings on the day, hopefully it can raise some much-needed funds.”
There is no admission charge to watch the game but donations to the club will be welcome. Refreshments and a raffle are available.
Dev’s Magpies (from): Floyd, D Ward, Eames, J Tizzard, Hill, Rothman, R Hodder, J Hodder, Foxwell, Hassell, Rawlings, Edwards, Gould, Hayes.
Jason’s Magpies (from): Graham, Napper, S Ward, Sawyer, Hallet, Coleman, Aplin, Bridle, Carter, Cockett, Clark, Massey.
