A football-mad fundraiser is reuniting old teams to help score against cancer, saying everyone is touched by the disease.

Jason Clark, 34, of Charlotte Court, South Woodham Ferrers, is organising a charity football cup, hoping to raise upwards of £1,000 for Cancer Research UK.

Teams from Maldon St Mary's, Maldon Saints and Heybridge Social will battle it out.

The event aims to appeal to all the family, with a bouncy castle, stalls, and face painting.

Entry to the match, on May 2, is £2, with under-16s free, at Heybridge Swfits Football Club, Scraley Road, Heybridge.

Gates open at 8pm.
