Garforth assistant boss Andy Sunley with his friend Sonny Brogan-Clark who sadly passed away earlier this year
Garforth Town assistant manager Andy Sunley and former Glasshoughton Welfare physio Sam Crawford are raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust on Sunday 31st July.
Sunley and Crawford are hosting a charity family football day at Tadcaster Magnets in memory of their friends Sonny Brogan-Clark and Claire Armitage.
There will be activities for children, along with a BBQ. All the money raised is going towards Crawford and Sunley’s Huskie Trail next March, which is in aid of Cystic Fibrosis.
“We’ve both lost friends to cystic fibrosis – my friend Sonny who was quite a big character at Tadcaster Albion and Sam’s school friend Claire,” Sunley said.
“I think it will be a really good day. Rob Hunter is organising one of the veteran teams and he’s got some ex-Premier League superstars coming.
“We’re hoping to raise £2,000 and £3,000 overall from the day. Myself and Sam are doing to Huskie Trail through the arctic in March so we need to raise £8,000 between us.
“The charity game is the first stage of getting towards £8,000. We’re going to be having other events throughout the year away from football. We’ll be doing a couple more bigger events.
“The charity means a lot to myself and Sam. It also means a lot to the Northern Counties East League because of Sonny and there’s been a lot of support for the charity since she passed away.”
Admisision is going to £5, £3 for children. Under 5s go free.
