Yesterday, Chapeltown Juniors FC’s U13 Gold team took on a gruelling 12-hour football challenge as they raise money for their upcoming tour to Barcelona.
The team kicked off the event at 8am on Saturday, with players, families and members of the community invited to take part at Prince Charles Centre throughout the day.
The game ran continuously without half-time, with different age groups joining the match each hour.
The event also featured food, stalls, games and activities, with money raised helping to ensure every player has the chance to travel to Spain.
