Bangor Football Club has donated 3 Liverpool FC shirts which have been autographed by the Legends side to the Natasha Falls - Journey of Hope campaign.

Natasha Falls was diagnosed with 18q-, which in genetic terms means that the long arm of the Chromosome 18 is missing. The condition is so rare that Natasha is one of only four children in the world who have the same form of 18q-. As a result Natasha's mother and father, need to raise money to send Natasha to Chicago, where she can get the care and treatment she needs.

Pictured are Bangor FC Chairman Trevor Best and Raymond Porter from Bangor FC Social Club presenting the shirts to Steven Cardy.

On the 24th August Steven Cardy is embarking on a sponsored walk from Holywood FC Social Club to Bangor FC Social Club in aid of the Natasha Falls fund. The walk is followed by a Day at the Races in Bangor FC Social Club from 3pm - Everyone Welcome.

Last Thursday evening the Reserves picked up their second victory in a 1-0 win over Bryansburn Rangers. Gary Sharratt scored the only goal of the game after a great run and pass from Johnny Roy.
