Isthmian heroes of today and yesteryear gather to raise funds

Parkside, the home of Aveley FC (and, for now, Grays Athletic) will play host to an exciting charity football tournament on Sunday. Partly organised by new Millers signing Sam Bantick, the tournament will raise funds for the Papyrus Charity, which works for the prevention of young suicide, in memory of Ella Richardson, the sister of former Romford player Tom Richardson.

Gates will open at 3.15 PM and the action will start at 4. Four teams will take part- a 'Non League Mix Team' managed by James Webster and including the likes of Aaron Condon, Alex Teniola-Time, Matty Price and Ralston Gabriel, a Brentwood promotion XI, a Romford side managed by Paul Martin and a Friends and Family Team. See attached image for all the details of who will play.

As well as the football, there will be live music and entertainment.
