On Wednesday, 15th May, a spirited charity football match between Calday Grange Grammar School and Hilbre High School culminated in a thrilling 4-2 victory for Calday Grange Grammar School. This special event, which took place at the esteemed Tranmere Rovers Football Club, saw a turnout of over 700 staff, students and parents from both school communities.
The excitement on the pitch was palpable as both teams displayed remarkable sportsmanship and skill. Despite the competitive nature of the match, the true winner of the day was the Macmillan Cancer Charity, for whom an impressive £4,356 was raised. The event didn’t stop at the final whistle; a friendly penalty shootout followed the main game, with Hilbre High School emerging victorious.
The charity match provided a wonderful opportunity for both schools to come together in support of a worthy cause. The collective efforts of the players, spectators and organisers highlighted the strength of community spirit and the shared commitment to making a positive impact.
A special thank you goes to Tranmere Rovers Football Club for their generous support in hosting the match. Their involvement was instrumental in the success of this event, providing a professional and welcoming environment for all participants and spectators.
Calday Grange Grammar School and Hilbre High School extend their deepest gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to this remarkable fundraising effort. The funds raised will go a long way in supporting the vital work of Macmillan Cancer Charity, aiding those affected by cancer.
