PMC Stadium To Host Louis Bell Charity Match

Baffins Milton Rovers Football Club is proud to be hosting a special charity football match on Sunday 18 May, in memory of our former manager Louis Bell.

Entry to the match is priced £5 for all, cash only, with all proceeds from the 1pm kick-off going to support two vital cancer charities, Friends Fighting Cancer and The Amelia-Mae Foundation.

Louis' role in the history of Baffins is immeasurable. His leadership was instrumental in securing our historic back-to-back promotions from the Hampshire League to the Wessex Premier Division. Simply put, the club would not be where it is today without Louis' impact.

On 18 May, the current Rovers squad will be joined by a Louis Bell Baffins Old Boys XI, Louis Jr Select XI and Pompey Charity Squad for what promises to be a memorable afternoon. Charlie Bell, Jack Fox, Jason Parish, Harvey Wellham, Arty Kerton and Fin Bello will all take to the pitch for Baffins.

Louis Jr Select XI will include the likes of Rudi Blankson, Joel Jackson, Ashley Harris, Brad Fairweather, Gary Austin, Billy Butcher, Ray Ogilvie and Louis Bell Jr himself.

The squads for Louis Bell Baffins Old Boys XI and Pompey Charity Squad will be announced in due course.

The fundraising event will get underway at 11:30am, featuring a live performance from band Guilt Trippin. Supporters can also purchase food and drink, participate in raffles and blackouts, with an ice cream van also on site.

We encourage everyone in the local football community to come along and support the two charities and the players participating as we remember a true club legend.
