Merseyside Police Women's Football Team to host
National Police Tournament
MERSEYSIDE Police's women's football
team are getting ready to pull their boots on for the Police Sport UK Women's
Football Tournament 2016 this month. The tournament is being hosted by
Merseyside Police Women's Football team in Aigburth and all proceeds will go to
Liverpool Homeless FC. Nine police forces from around the country will battle it
out for the title and the force's team should be among the favourites having won
the tournament in 2014. This year's event will feature children's fairground
rides, face painting, bouncy castles and refreshments. Following the football on
Saturday, a ticket only private function will take place presented by Watchdog
presenter Michelle Ackerley and X Factor star Craig Colton. Constable Carla
Heyes is helping to organise the event. She said:- "This tournament should
be a great way of promoting fitness, friendship and most of all fun, while also
raising money for Liverpool Homeless FC who do a great job engaging with
homeless people in the City. It should be a good natured, but fiercely
competitive day and hopefully Merseyside Police will come out on top! Come and
join us on both Saturday and especially Sunday for the big final which will also
be a great family fun day with lots going on." |
