Football: Yeovil Town help Wallace & Gromit Appeal

YEOVIL Town joined forces with a group of colleagues yesterday (Saturday) at Huish Park to boost a hospital appeal that has aided a former player’s son’s battle with leukaemia.
Supporters visiting the Huish Park shop before the npower League One clash with Bury were able to have their faces painted in their team’s colours and buy sweets.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Grand Appeal at the Bristol Royal Infirmary where Isaac Flory, son of ex-Glover and current Chard Town manager Nick, is undergoing treatment for the blood cancer.
Three-year-old Isaac was diagnosed with the disease earlier this year and is nearing completion of a course of intensive chemotherapy on the hospital’s Clic Sargent ward. Father Nick graduated from Yeovil’s youth system in the early 1990s.
Glovers’ commercial manager Dave Linney encouraged fans to visit the stall. “All of us at Huish Park were well-aware of Isaac’s battle,” he said.
“When the group of fundraisers who met through work approached us to see if they could help we were more than happy to offer them a presence in the shop.
“Their fundraising for an excellent cause had a green and white theme and we were only too happy to help.”
