Local football teams are being urged to take part in a football challenge for the Mayoress of Berwick’s Charity.

Alan Fairburn who runs Lowick football team, recently ran a charity football match and raised £500 for Chemo for Berwick, the Mayoresses chosen charity.

Now Alan is challenging all local teams to see if they can better that figure.

Mayoress of Berwick Sandra Evans said:
“Alan and his players raised £500 for Chemo at Berwick and he’s now set a challenge for other teams to see if they can raise more money, or to see if they want to set up a football challenge with the Lowick team.

“If you are interested in meeting Alan’s challenge please call me on 07720263310,” she said.

Chemo for Berwick is a local charity raising funds to help refurbish one of the wards at Berwick Infirmary so that treatment for cancer can be delivered locally.
