football-a-thon - Nantwich Town Disability Football players in action (1)

Nantwich Town Disability Football (NTDF) are hosting their annual ’24-hour Football-a-thon’ later this month, writes Jonathan White.

The event will take place at Nantwich Town FC’s Swansway Stadium 3G pitch at 7pm on Friday May 31.

And participants will play through to 7pm on Saturday June 1.

The proceeds raised will go to NTDF towards helping with transport and day-to-day running of the club.

Craig Acton, NTDF head coach and event organiser, said: “NTDF have decided to change it up in regards to fundraising so we thought why not just play football for a day – do what we love to help those who love the game too.

“Any donations would be greatly appreciated.”
