Chris Aldridge, from BBC Radio 4, acted as MC on Saturday. There were a variety of stalls selling food and beer, as well as various tombolas and, topically, a beat the goalie competition.

The charity partner this year is St Catherine’s Hospice and money was raised for the charity throughout the afternoon.
