Generosity was the goal for Brightlingsea Regent football fans at their first match of 2023.

They arrived at Taydal Stadium full of hope for the game against Bishops Stortford and laden with groceries for those in need.

And what a result – the team won two-nil and Brightlingsea Foodbank netted a huge haul 155.5kg of food donations.

Brightlingsea Foodbank coordinator Win Pomroy said: “We were overwhelmed by the vast amount of food the fans brought with them. We are so grateful for everything people have given at a time when everyone is feeling the pinch. Our clients will really appreciate it.”

Luke Hewitt from Brightlingsea Regent Sports Association said: “Everyone recognises that some people are unfortunately struggling a great deal and we are pleased to do what we can to help out.”
