CHATHAM TOWN – On Sunday 19th April they will be hosting a benefit match for Matt Solly and Jack Bradshaw with kick off time at 1 pm.
Matt broke his ankle on New Year’s Day and is making steady progress back to fitness. He is now wearing a boot enabling him to put more weight on the joint and start some very light physiotherapy.
Jack too suffered a serious knee injury in pre-season. He is making slow and steady progress. A celebrity XI will be fielded which will include some ex professional players and we will endeavour to let you know some names of the featured players nearer the time.
Matt has asked the club to organise a Chats All Stars side past and present. If there is any ex-players who would like to play and join in the fun, please EMAIL STEVE BINKS at [email protected]
