Match gives Hospice £900 boost
Organiser Ian Elliott said: “My grand-father spent six months at Strathcarron Hospice and I felt it was my duty to do something to recognise the staff for all the care they gave my grand-father who died recently.
“It was a brilliant day, with around 150 people there to see Dukla win 4-3; we were very encouraged by the response we got and have agreed to make it an annual event, and hope it will get bigger and better, and raise more funds for the Hospice.
