Football league score big for lifeboat charity

28th July 2018

A local football league have scored big in a fundraiser for the Southport Lifeboat Crew.

The fiftieth anniversary dinner of the Southport & District amateur football league raised an impressive £1000 to be split between the Southport Offshore Rescue Trust and Queenscourt Hospice.

Gifts were auctioned off in memory of 2 Committee members who passed away earlier this year, Derrick Ramsden and Alan ‘Ces’ Cropper, who previously had nominated their chosen charities.

Derrick and Alan served with the League for over 50 years between them. Pictured is Chair of the League Bill Halfpenny with the Southport Lifeboat crew and Bill with Alan’s family and Rachel Kennedy, from Queenscourt Hospice.
