National disability charity, Motability, is hosting an annual 5-a-side Football Charity Challenge sponsored by RSA.

Enthusiastic adult players with all levels of football skills are needed to take part in the tournament and have fun raising money for Motability. The football challenge will take place on Saturday 11th July 2009, at the Powerleague Soccerdome, Pride Park, Derby. Teams of eight are needed to take part, made up of five players and three substitutes.

An entry fee of £475 entitles each team to an action-packed afternoon, which includes use of the state of the art facilities, breakfast on arrival, participation in the tournament, a photo CD as a reminder of the day and buffet lunch.

Peter Beagrie, former Middleborough, Sheffield United, Everton, Manchester City and Scunthorpe United player and regular Sky Sports football expert will be available to offer tips and advice as well as pose for photos and present the prizes. Teams can warm up on outdoor pitches from 11.00am, and play kicks off at the purpose-built soccer facility at 1.00pm. FA referees will be officiating at all the matches.

Aine Canavan, Motability Fundraising Events Co-ordinator, says: "Whether players just like a kick-about with friends or play in a team, this is their chance to compete at a state-of-the-art venue and win some fantastic prizes. Last years challenge raised just under £17,000 and we're hoping to make it even more this time round."

"All the money raised will go to Motability's Charitable Grants Fund, to help disabled people get the car and adaptations they need to lead a more independent life."
