Charity Tournament 17th July

Sussex Underwater Hockey Club invite people to play in a fund raising tournament in support of Sussex Cancer Fund (SCF).

The reason is important: Ollie Feest who has played at Brighton and Southsea and was Captain of Portsmouth Uni has been undergoing treatment for Testicular cancer; unfortunately, just recently, he has had to start a course of chemotherapy as his lymphatic system has also become infected!

Ollie and his family expressed a wish to increase awareness among young males aged 15 to 35 who are most at risk via a sponsored event and raise funds for The Sussex Cancer Fund in aid of The Sussex Cancer Centre at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, where he is receiving his treatment.

Tournament dates are as following:
Sunday 17th July.
12noon till 6pm.
Teams of up to 8 (5 in water).
If we can make it, a team costs £75.

Also, they would ask any attending player to consider joining them in a sponsored ‘Head Shave’ in support of Ollie, to take place on the day.

There will be other events taking place on the day too.

If you are interested, post it on the club’s facebook page!
