Football legends play charity match, raising over £20,000 for MND

A charity match held at Frenchfield Park in Penrith raised more than £20,000 for the MND Association and Eden Valley Hospice. The game featured former players from Carlisle United against ex-Workington and Penrith players in honor of the late Tony Hopper, who would have turned 50 on the day of the event. Hopper, a former player for Carlisle United, died in 2018 from motor neurone disease. The match ended in a 5-5 draw, with Hopper's son Jack scoring a hat-trick for Carlisle. Organizers sought to keep Hopper's memory alive through events held over the weekend, including a charity ball the night before.
