Macmilan FC succumed to a heavy defeat from the Tom Close XI.

Before the match started, most of the lads had never played together before.

Manager, Robson O'Reardon used the 4-3-1-2 formation to try and beat their opponents.

Macmillan FC went into half time only a goal down after withstanding constant pressure from the opponents.

​

Fast forward to the second half.... Macmillan FC were now playing uphill and were (pardon the pun) facing an uphill battle from the opponents.

​

After trying a formation change to go 'all out attack' the Green Machine were countered on the break several times, eventually conceding a further five goals.

​

The day was in memory of Tom Close, the friend of Macmillan FC manager, Robson. The game was also in aid of the aviation charity, Fly2help who hold the Tom Close Scholarship once a year in Tom's memory.

​

In May 2017, over £8,000 was raised for the charity by Tom's friends and family after they cycled over 200 miles from Goodision Park to Kenilworth Road.

I am extremely proud to announce that after this event today, just over £1,000 was raised.
