WHITEHAWK AND GUERNSEY FOOTBALL CLUBS JOIN TOGETHER TO CREATE ‘THE BIG VIRTUAL MATCH’ ON TWITTER,
SATURDAY MARCH 28, 2:30PM – MATCH AT 3PM
Whitehawk Football Club and Guernsey Football Club were due to play each other in a Bet Victor Isthmian league south East match on Saturday, March 28 – Whitehawk’s annual Community Day.
Events around the globe of course have taken a huge development since, and so the two clubs have decided to play out a ‘virtual’ game on social media, (eg; play a scripted match only on-line at 3pm on Saturday, using social media to report it) and attempt to raise some much needed funds for two amazing charities at this very difficult time.
The Whitehawk Foodbank is struggling to provide individuals and families with the basics, and with many low income and now no-income families within the Whitehawk area struggling to keep going, providing the bare minimum during lockdown is proving to be very difficult.
Similarly, The Guernsey Mind Charity has been working with Guernsey Football Club for a while, and right now their role is pivotal, as they reach out to help huge numbers of people on the island that are dealing with the pressures of lockdown and uncertainty.
Football has always been there for communities, to support and entertain generations. Now is the time for football to give back, and help those that support the beautiful game…
The Club have set up a JustGiving page here and both clubs hope that they can keep football fans entertained from 2:30pm on Saturday.
Just follow the action as it’s played out on twitter, @hawksfcofficial and @GuernseyFC,
There’ll be updates on the Whitehawk Instagram channel: whitehawkfc and on Facebook, @whitehawkfootballclub.
The ‘Virtual Referee’ for the virtual game is Daniel D’Urso, son of former Premier League Referee Andy.
Join in!
