St. Agnes AFC host Rob Stapleton's Select Team -v- Martyn Kimmins' Select Team. Sunday 18th May 2008 - 3pm Kick Off Enys Parc, St Agnes.

All proceeds to be donated to Lowen Ward Amenities Fund

at The Royal Cornwall Hospital Treliske.

A date for your diaries please! Many of you will know local footballer and fireman Rob Stapleton who has recently had Testicular Cancer.

During a drunken conversation we decided with Rob that a positive way forward for him was to raise some money for a charity of his choice with a football match which we would host at Enys Parc.

Rob has decided that he would like to raise some money for The Lowen Ward at Treliske which is where he has recently had 10 weeks of treatment including chemotherapy - Lowen Ward is the main ward for this sort of treatment in this area so could be relevant to any of us at anytime. (In fact my dad was in there before we sadly lost him 10 years ago!)

Lowen Ward has its own Amenities Fund (F2385)under the umbrella of the main hospitals registered charity (No. 1049687) so all monies raised will be spent directly on Lowen ward to help aid treatment for others in the future!

A select set of two teams is currently being approached and recruited (affiliated and insured as appropriate!) - with all players being asked to raise a minimum of £20 in sponsorship - we have also secured matched funding from Barclays Bank for this one on their £1 for £1 scheme so we hope it will be a great success. Players and officials are asked to arrive at Enys Parc by 2.15pm and please to collect and bring your sponsorship with you on the day. Cheques made payable to Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charitable Funds please.

All playing kit will be provided so you only need your boots, shin-pads and goalie gloves if relevant!

The selected teams names will be posted over the next couple of weeks, but please if you can support this event by being there/sponsoring it or simply making a donation however small get in touch 07974 370666 or email: bolsterpaper@gmail.com.

There will be a raffle and refreshments on the day and possibly even a min-auction if I get organized enough!

Hope you can join us!
