Picture special: Big kick-off as Friends Fighting Cancer 2021 edition of annual tournament gets going

Footballers from across the area came together for a great cause at Westleigh Park last weekend.

The opening stage of the Friends Fighting Cancer tournament got under way at Havant & Waterlooville FC on Sunday with eight teams involved.

Initially started by Ray Ogilvie in 2008, the charity has gone onto raise more than £1m in the 13 years it's been running.

Numbers were high in the opening round of the 2021 edition of the annual FFC tournament, with semi-final fixtures to take place at Westleigh Park once again on Sunday, July 11.
