WATCH: Charity Football Match Raises Funds For Alder Hey Children's Hospital

A charity football match took place at Avro FC's Vestacare Stadium to raise funds for Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

Spectators were treated to a bar and refreshments, live DJ and karaoke, a crossbar challenge and much more.
