Town Legends in Action in Stowmarket - Ipswich Town News

A Town legends side are taking on a team of former Norwich City players in a charity match at the new Cedars Park Community Centre in Stowmarket on Sunday to raise funds for the NSPCC.

The match kick-offs at 3pm and features the likes of Fabian Wilnis, Kieron Dyer, Jason Dozzell, Gavin Johnson, Leon McKenzie, Ruel Fox and Darren Eadie amongst others, while Franky Fryer from Soccer AM will also be in action and will host an after-match auction.

The game, which is organised in conjunction with Fabprobags, ex-right-back Wilnis's latest business venture, and Santander, will be preceded by the inaugural match on the pitch between Cedars Park FC and AFC Hoxne, which kicks-off at noon.

Wilnis told TWTD: "It’ll be a nice, busy family day for young and old. The weather forecast is looking good, there’s going to be a bouncy castle, face painting, a raffle and an auction.

"They’ve got some really good raffle and auction prizes. Trust me, I would turn up just for the auction and raffle prizes. I’m not going to tell you what they are, but they are that good!

"It’s going to be a good laugh for everyone and it’ll be a precursor to the real thing when it happens next season.”

Tickets are £3 for adults and £1 for children and are available from the Cedars Park Community Centre office from Monday to Friday during office hours, The Aviary bar at all other times or branches of Santander in Stowmarket, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. Alternatively, pay on the day, £5 for adults and £1 for children.
