What a day for a true Blythe hero. 💚⚽
Our charity football match in memory of Pat McDonough brought together friends, family and familiar faces from across the Blythe Hill community to celebrate someone who meant so much to so many.
Pat was more than a regular at the Blythe Hill Tavern. He was a character, a friend and a huge part of our community. His stories, laughter and unforgettable personality left a mark on everyone who knew him and this event was a fitting tribute to the man he was.
Together, we raised money for St Christopher’s Hospice, whose compassion and care meant so much to Pat and his loved ones during his final days. We are incredibly proud to support the important work they continue to do for other individuals and families.
Thank you to every player who stepped onto the pitch, everyone who helped organise the event and every person who came along to support, donate and remember Pat. The love shown throughout the day proved just how special this community is.
The football brought us together, but Pat was the reason we were all there.
A brilliant day for an unforgettable man. Forever a character, forever part of the Blythe and forever our hero. 💚
