FIREFIGHTERS from all over the UK travelled to Chester to compete in a football tournament in aid of a good cause.
The seven-a-side team tournament featured 20 teams, including some of “the best teams from the North West”, to compete for the Burning Issue Trophy in aid of the UK Firefighters Charity.
Winners were Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue with Chester side Hoole Rangers runners-up.
The event, which will take place at the Cheshire County Sports Club at the weekend, aimed to raise about £5,000 to help the rehabilitation of injured firefighters.
Editor of The Burning Issue magazine, Brett Tudor, said: “Fire service teams from the North East to the south coast will descend on Chester for what promises to be a great day out for all the family.”
Entertainment on the day also included a bouncy castle, a rowing competition, face painting and raffles.
Football-themed entertainment included a Soccer AM-style ‘Beat The Goalie’ competition’ and ‘Keepy Uppie’ which should keep spectators amused between games.
Brett added there was a prize for the winning teams as well as for the top goalscorer.
There will also be trophies and raffle prizes for spectators to win on the day.
