Ryshworth Rangers, a football team based in Bingley, will play a match on top of a mountain for charity.
The team are due to tackle the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on Saturday (8 April 2017) and plan to have a game of 7-a-side on top of Whernside, the highest peak of the day.
Fourteen players, aged from 18 to 32, are hoping to raise £2,000 for Bradford Hospitals Children’s Charity. Donations can be sent on the team’s just giving page.
Although taking on 24 miles in total, including the two other peaks – Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough – the club founder, Elliott Horan, is adamant that the squad will be ready for their league game the day after, in the Bradford Sunday Alliance league.
