Story

After 7-1 and 4-2 victories in the previous two years, the Old Boys will be determined to make it a hat-trick against a current team who will be equally as hungry for the win.  After a very successful season, this could be the Old Boys' sternest test and Manager Chris Trapps will be hoping he has a few aces up his sleeve.

This year's charity will be Retinitis Pigmentosa Fighting (inherited) Blindness (RPFB), Charity Number 1153851.  I have this condition, which has no cure and effectively causes tunnel vision to the point of being registered blind.  RP Fighting Blindness was founded in 1975 by a number of people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The group was concerned at the lack of knowledge about RP in the medical profession, the lack of a treatment or cure, and the lack of support for people with RP, and so decided to do something about it.

RP Fighting Blindness has since evolved into a respected medical research charity and a nationwide organisation providing support and information. They remain grounded in  volunteer roots as they seek to help patients live with RP and fund cutting edge research into the causes of and potential treatments for the disease.

It has been a blinding season so far; let's make it a blinding effort in the fundraising stakes.

A colour programme will be available at a cost of £2, of which £1 will go to the charity.
