Charity football match raises more than £1,000 for Sussex Cancer Fund

SCF XI versus The Portsmouth Legends took place at Worthing Football Club, Woodside Road, on Saturday, June 3.

The Sussex Cancer Fund squad SCF XI beat the Portsmouth charity team 4-1.

More than £1,000 was raised during the event as there was a large crowd of onlookers.
