TAPS BEAT TOILETS IN CHARITY FOOTBALL CLASH

 

Almost £2,000 was raised for international charity WaterAid thanks to a 5-aside football tournament in Bradford which included a match between a set of giant taps and toilets.

A total of 22 teams and 159 people competed in the light-hearted charity event for Yorkshire Water colleagues at Bradford Goals, with the four-figure sum raised going to WaterAid.

That money will be enough to give over 100 people that the charity works with in the developing world lasting access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene.

To celebrate the important work that the charity does on drinking and waste water, a 5-aside match between 10 players dressed in taps and toilets was held. The taps “ran” the show, winning 2-1.

Connor Harper from Yorkshire Water said: “We were delighted with the number of people that got involved in the tournament and the money raised really will make a big difference to a massive number of people.”
