A FOOTBALL tournament will take place this coming weekend (Saturday, 3 August) to support Havens Hospices.

The event, at the Lakeside Sports ground off the arterial road in West Thurrock (RM16 6DN) will feature 15 teams of dock workers from across the UK - and even further afield.

The 'International Dockers Tournament' will see sides compete in a five-a-side event, which is just a part of a day of family and fun activities.

There will be face painting, inflatables, fund-raising stalls, an all day barbecue and a bar.

Parking is free.

The fun will start at 12 noon.
