MEMBERS of a football team will be putting their best feet forward in fancy dress for the Lynn News Young Carers’ Appeal.

The Reffley Royals adult team, who practice in River Lane, Gaywood, will be taking part in a five-kilometre sponsored walk on Sunday, August 28, from noon.

It will start and finish at the Swan Inn, Nursery Lane, South Wootton.

The players, as well as their partners and children, will make their way along Common Lane, South Wootton, Castle Rising Road, South Wootton, Priory Lane, North Wootton, Ling Common Road, North Wootton, Lynn Road, North Wootton, Grimston Road, South Wootton, and Low Road, South Wootton.

Anyone can take part and the special event was organised by Rob Back, Reffley Royals Football Club manager.

He told the Lynn News: “The more ridiculous the costumes the better. We want to raise as much money as we can. It will be a fun day for everybody.”

In the past the team has raised money for the Lynn News Special Care Baby Appeal and the Help for Heroes charity.
