NEWLY formed Lydney Under 9's football team continued what's already been a good start to their season with a sponsored walk across the Old Severn Bridge which raised around £900.

The team, only set up in July, made the five mile hike on one of the hottest days of the year.

Thanks go to Tesco, Lydney, for photocopying, Tuffins for bottled water (a must on the day), Homebase for parking, Prodoor's Paul and Linda for sponsorship of the new under 9's kit, Glatfelter for the waterproof jackets plus family, friends and Lydney Under 9's team for support, donations and sponsorship.
