Bagging the dosh for a football trip
YOUNG footballers teamed up with Tesco to raise funds for their dream tournament trip.
Members of Ebley Youth FC's under 12s and under 10s packed bags for the supermarket's customers to earn donations towards their visit to the National Youth Football Festival at Butlin's in Minehead next year.

"It went very well. We have to raise £3,500 to take the kids," Mr Matthew said.

“@stevenumber1 - how can you call this begging? They were offering a service in return for a small donation. We should be proud that local kids are getting out and doing something positive instead of sitting in front of the TV or computer screen. People like you aren't happy unless you are moaning and I find that quite sad really!”

“We're they trained on how to pack bags properly?
I don't likes me cheese to be put in with the dog food you sees.”
