So Saturday 17th saw a number of the team take part in a special charity match v a Guest XI side of ex pro players. Whilst the result was a tad one-sided, it proved to be an amazing day for everyone involved. We raised Β£3500 for @SandsUK π§‘π

A highlight for Luke was pocketing π legend Marc Richards in the Sands Utd v Allstars game this year. Another fond memory is his experience at Loughborough away and squeezing us all in the snug changing rooms.

Luke joined Sands in November 2024 after the loss of his daughter, Wren. Likened to Paul Scholes, purely for looks and not the footballing ability. He will play wherever needed as he openly admits he is equally as useless in all positions.

Ryan Ellison, a once marauding winger turned Defender/utility man with pace declining at a similar rate to his hair line (itβs got worse since this photo). Heβs been with the club since they first started in 2018, scoring 2 goals in 12 games during that season.

We feel this poem perfectly sums up a fathers perspective, but we take nothing away from the pain and anguish shared by both parents. #BLAW ππ«Άπ *unknown credit source for poem
