We're excited for the upcoming Annual Retail Challenge Cup in Evesham which will see supermarket staff swap the checkouts for the football pitch in aid of St Richard’s Hospice. The long running charity football match - now in its 20th year - involves rival teams from Evesham Morrisons and Tesco playing to win the trophy, which will be presented by Wolverhampton Wanderers FC midfielder Conor Coady. The main match will take place at Evesham United Football Club's Jubilee Stadium at 6pm on Sunday 6th August. Can reigning champions Morrisons defend their title? Organiser Mark Payne founded the event in memory of his mum, Gill, who was cared for by St Richard’s. He said: "It was a difficult time and they were so caring and understanding – they were always there. We are really grateful.” Since its beginnings, the Retail Challenge Cup has raised around £10,000 for St Richard’s - we are so thankful for the incredible, continued support.
If you'd like to go along and enjoy the game, there will be a 'Legends Match' at 2pm featuring past players followed by the main match at 6pm. Admission costs £3 for adults and £2 for children, with all proceeds going to the hospice. The gates open at 1.30pm.
