CHARITY GAME

Recreational/semi-competitive non-profit 5-a-side tournament to raise money for Cancer Research UK, in association with the University of Manchester's Cancer Research UK Society (CRUKSoc).

The tournament entry is £30 per team, so we'll use the site to pick teams of 6 players (i.e. each team will bring a substitute to make the price £5 per person).

The tournament will last for four hours from start to finish, and will be a group & knockout format. You'll be getting a lot of football for your money, and it's all for charity!

All details can be found on the Facebook event page.
