Footballers wear it pink in charity match
A housing association football team has given 110% in its efforts to support cancer charities.
Merlin Housing Society staff took to the football pitch in a pink kit to mark Breast Cancer Research's Wear it Pink day. They were playing against fellow housing association Curo in a charity football match to raise money for a number of cancer charities including the Bristol Children's Hospital.

And the team were certainly in the pink by the end of the match, coming out 10-0 winners.
Team manager Ricky Gray said: "The match was in aid of some really good causes and we were delighted to be involved. Cancer affects so many people in one way or another so we wanted to do our bit.

“A more appropriate colour to wear would be green, seeing as cannabis is the best chance we have of curing cancer.

But shhhh - it's a secret. the pharma companies don't want you to know this as they can't patent a plant.
Huge profits are more important than eradicating this horrible disease.”
