Under the theme “Kick out Breast Cancer! Keep Women in the Game”, the annual charity football competition which was contested on Sunday last at GFC ground was geared towards bringing awareness to the fight against breast cancer. For the past two years the organisers staged the futsal version, however, this year they tried the full field and it was an overwhelming success.
