12:30pm Avenue Stadium – What to expect:-
Free entry. There will be a variety of footballing abilities on show, with some guaranteed hamstring and ACL injuries. Some of the lads may not be the players they once were, but we have some members of the current Hardyes football team to make up for that.
A 10th anniversary game between two longstanding rivals looking to settle an old score. The game features former and current students in ages ranging from 18 to 30 years old. Mr Hughes will be managing his beloved B team against an assortment of familiar faces who once played for The Thomas Hardye School.
The bar will be open upon arrival, and donations are encouraged for our chosen charities – Weldmar Hospicecare and Dorset Mental Health.
