Last year, the event raised money for Hope Against Cancer, a charity put forward by Chantal Bailey, whose children play at the club.
Sadly, just weeks after attending the 2021 event, Chantal died.

Organiser Roz Wallis said: “We wanted to raise money for this charity again in memory of Chantal.
"The prizes going to the winners are also a reminder of Chantal.
"Every winner was given some daffodils, Chantal’s favourite flower. In fact, we planted a whole bank of daffodil bulbs at the club to remind us of her.”
