Alfie Bowen, a professional photographer and ambassador for the farm, said: "It is great to see this fantastic fundraising event return after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

"After attending the care farm myself for several years during a difficult time at mainstream high school I know first-hand just how important their work is - it can literally save and transform lives, and fundraising events like the football match are crucial in enabling the farm to help more people.

"It's wonderful to see the Clinks community enjoying themselves, and I hope to see many people cheering them on."
