£1k raised for charity in Castletown football fest

Football fever in Castletown has raised £1,000 for charity.

The Steam Packet football team locked horns with Union Eagles to generate the funds for The Walton Centre in Liverpool.

The family fun day was organised by the family of Chucka O'Brien, who has been treated for a brain tumour and stage four brain cancer at the medical centre on Merseyside.

His daughter, Beverley Cowan, says she is thrilled with the public support they've received and thanked everyone for making her fathers birthday a special and memorable day.
