 Barking FC are pleased to announce a Grand Charity Match at our Mayesbrook Park
ground on Monday August 29th.
The match is being held for Dylan Tombides (pictured top left) in aid of Cancer Research.
The 17 year old West Ham striker Dylan Tombides was recently diagnosed with Testicular cancer whilst he was away on International duty at the FIFA Under 17s World Cup in Mexico. Dylan immediately returned to England and the Hammers' medical staff arranged for a further assessment by doctors.
Dylan is currently receiving treatment at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London. He will continue further treatment in the coming weeks.
The budding young footballer attended Barking Abbey School along with several of the current Barking FC squad. One of the players, Sam Jones, in support of his good friend, is attempting to raise £1,000 for the Cancer Research UK Charity - Men's Cancer. Sam will be shaving his hair off 'ON THE DAY', anyone who wishes to sponsor him in doing so should contact Sue Jones on 07961 387583.
Local Sunday side Manor House FC and Barking Reserves will contest the first game with a 2pm kick off and to give supporters value for money, there will also be second match kicking off at 4:30pm between a VETERANS side including Rob O'Brien, Alan Dickens, Steve Munday, Jeff Sears and any of the youth/ladies team coaches and staff representing Barking FC. They will be up against amixture of Reserves and Manor House as the opposition.
All funds raised from the gate will go towards helping Sam reach his target for the above Charity.
Anyone is welcome and we would be grateful for everyone's support on the day, Gates open at 12.30 pm!!
