A DATE has been set for this year's football match which will remember and honour loved ones in Basingstoke.

As previously reported residents from Winklebury came together at the Hampshire FA Stadium for The Legends of Winklebury Memorial Football Match in June last year.

The teams were made of family and friends of the legends who have died. All the players who were from Winklebury played with their loved ones’ names on their shirts.

The event started in 2021 with a memorial football match commemorating the lives of George Nash and Freddie Elgar.

Last year's match raised just over £2,000 for charitable causes.  

This year’s match will be held on Sunday, August 6 and the team hope it will be bigger and better in order to raise more funds to help the Winklebury Community.
