Charity match

BRIGHTON and Hove Albion fans and players from past and present will turn out for a charity match at the Dripping Pan in Lewes.

Chairman Dick Knight will join players from the current squad and a small number of players from previous years in a game to remember Robert Eaton, an Albion fan who died while working in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.

The Robert Eaton Memorial Fund supports youngsters who may get the opportunity or resources to play football.

Closer to home the fund has also given support and funding to seven local football clubs including Peacehaven's Meridian FC.

Crystal Palace fans have also put their rivalry to one side and have joined the fundraising efforts and played Brighton fans in previous matches.

On Friday April 27 the fund is staging its sixth annual match at the Dripping Pan, kick off at 7.30pm.

Admission is 5 for adults and free for children under 16. For more information contact 07729 946300.
