A charity football match is to take place in Ballymoney to raise funds for the Cancer Fund for Children NI.

Organised by Ballymoney team Fireflies, the Charity Cup is an annual sporting event founded in 2021, when Fireflies defeated Team Blair 3-2 to become the first ever Charity Cup Champions.

They would then defend the crown 12 months later against Ballymoney Swift’s where they came out 11-1 victors to retain the trophy.
