Firefighters will be pulling on their football boots on Wednesday May 7th to play against a team drawn from all faiths, who will come together on the day, to battle for a new Community Cup.

The audience will include hundreds of children, teenagers and adults who participated in a Faith based football league. Older players from this league will make up the squad which runs out against the firefighters at Luton Town FC.

Dave Fothergill, Deputy Area Risk Commander for Luton and South Bedfordshire, Bedfordshire and Luton Fire and Rescue Service (BLFRS), said: "We were delighted to be able to sponsor the Faith based football league and support the wider ambition of the project which is to encourage much greater participation in sport across the whole range of faiths that we enjoy in Luton."

Butch Fazel, Head Coach, said: "The Faith Based Football League is a fantastic example of good practice, working with black and ethnic minorities, raising awareness about the importance of fire safety messages and increasing understanding of road safety messages."

The gates will be open to all and entrance is FREE - come along and see local soccer ‘stars’ in action. Guest of honour will be international cricketer Monty Panesar who will present the Community Cup to the winning team.

Kick off 7.30 pm at Luton Town FC
