A celebration took place a when more than thirty former Moore United players commemorated the second anniversary of the passing of their founder in a charity match dubbed “Billy Green Day” at Grange Sports & Social Club.
Bill Green was a well known local football figure and the club decided to support the Alzheimer’s Society Charity, which is close to heart of his family.
The match was played in great spirit and turned out to be a tight encounter after Phil McKay opened the scoring early in the game for Dot’s Dynamos.
Keeper Toby Macormac excelled to keep the score down as gradually Billy’s Boys side played their way into the match and equalised on 80 minutes with a close range finish from Adam Dakin.
Bucket collections took place during and after the match which finished 1-1 and raised over £500 for the Alzheimer’s Society.
The club are looking to make Billy Green Day an annual event for all those who served under him.
