The Bostik League Premier Division fixture sees the borough’s two highest-ranked senior non-league sides meet. The afternoon will be in celebration of supporting football in Kingston-Upon-Thames as well as uniting the community for worthwhile charities just before Christmas.
The two clubs have each selected a borough-based charity to support; Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness (KCAH) and Kingston Carers Network (KCN).
We’re asking anyone who attends to give generously for these causes.
KCAH – who provide help to the homeless have requested vital food and clothing donations. Anyone attending the match who can bring item(s) from the following list will receive a delicious mince pie and entry into a prize draw as a thank you.
- Pot Noodles
- Tea / Coffee / Sugar
- Used men's coats / jackets
- New or clean 'used' sleeping bags but must be in their sleeves
- New or used rucksacks (ideally 60L so a sleeping bag can comfortably fit)
- New men's 'trunks' underwear (Size M or L)
- New socks
Further fundraising events will help support KCN – Kingstonian’s local community partners who are based in Tolworth Broadway. They provide support to more than 3,000 adult carers and over 700 young carers from the Kingston Borough through a wide range of services.
The afternoon will be a celebration of local sport and supplemented with a variety of food and stalls, for those last minute Christmas gift ideas. Following the match, there will be a fan’s ‘crossbar challenge’ and guests will be invited to the ‘after party’ at the Corinthian-Casuals Clubhouse with food, drinks and music in a festive family atmosphere.
Gates open at 1pm and kickoff for the match is 3pm. Admission is £10 adults, £6 concessions (Over 60’s). Students, with valid ID can enter for £4 and Under 18s, with accompanying adult are FREE.
