The excitement, fun fuelled packed action and commentary were provided by Talk Sport Presenter Bob Mills created comedic entertainment, as broadcast stars from Channel 4’s Ultimate Dealer Dan Hill and Celebrity Lookalikes took to the pitch.
Just for the record winner’s vs. losers, the winning teams were crowned Cypriot owned company Verve in 1st place and runners up Wilkyson Byrne in second place. Celebrity items up for charity auction kept interested spectators wondering who will be the proud owner of Frank Lampard’s signed football boots were the eye candy prize of the day.

THE CHARITY – CHICKS
CHICKS is a national children’s charity that provides disadvantaged 8–15 year olds with FREE respite breaks across the UK- children that live in poverty, suffer abuse, are young carers or have lost parents. Their vision is to give every disadvantaged child the opportunity to feel valued. Childhood lasts for such a short time. It should be a time for laughter and learning, not a time of fear and isolation. A CHICKS break inspires new confidence and gives these children the chance to have fun, try new things and form positive childhood memories.
