Burnham-On-Sea Police faced off against Highbridge Town Football Club on Sunday (February 26th) when the two teams met in a charity football match to raise money for a local youth club.
The event, held at Highbridge Recreation Ground, was organised by PC Tracey Stiles and Community Support Officer Jill Udall from Burnham Police Station.
The match was held to raise much-needed cash for a youth club on Highbridge’s Moorland Road estate.
And, once the sponsorship money had been counted, almost £700 had been raised.
The game was won by Highbridge Town 3-1 and was described by the referee as a “nice clean game.”
Dennis Davey, Burnham and Highbridge’s Deputy Mayor, presented the trophies to the winning team, the two men-of-the-match and the referee.
The Highbridge and Burnham branch of St John Ambulance were also in attendance to deal with the injuries sustained by the players.
