AROUND 150 footballers graced March Town United’s GER ground on Saturday to take part in the fourth Lenford Cup.

Hares captain Luke Pepper organised the men’s 5-a-side tournament for the fourth consecutive year to raise money for the Ridgeons First Division outfit.

March Has Beens - which included ex-Hares players Gary White, Stuart Warby, Mark Newton, James Harness and Richard Peachey - beat 23 other teams to win the popular competition.

Pepper said: “It starts off as a bit of fun but when it gets down to the latter stages it soon becomes rather serious.

“I’m always nervous on the day but barring a few minor injuries it couldn’t have gone much better.”

Pepper thanked everyone who helped out on the day including Hares vice-chairman Gerry Roe, secretary Ray Bennett, Trevor and Mandy Welcher, John and Jo Whiteway, Jo Anderson and Shereen Hutton.

The Hares captain said he hoped the day had raised around �1,000 for the club.
