Traff Shaw Memorial Charity Football Game - 28th December 2011

A charity football match was held this week in memory of Trafford Shaw - a lad from Thirsk, who sadly lost his battle with cancer earlier this year.  His friends and family gathered together to organise a fundraiser and what better idea than a footie game - Traff was an avid football fan (Man U through and through). 

Over £5,000 was raised for the St Michael's Hospice in Harrogate.  
Saint Michael's exists to help people with terminal illness to live and die well.  They do this by offering specialist care, comfort and support, free of charge, to patients and their families.

The match was played between Robert Thompsons (old boys!) vs Thirsk Albions (old boys!)


I was asked to photograph the match for the local paper.  Here are some of the highlights......
