Firefighters take on Rangers for charity
The match was held at Sleaford Town’s Eslaforde Park ground on Sunday, May 30, in aid of the Firefighters’ Charity, which supports injured firefighters and their families.
Captain of the Lincolnshire fire and rescue team, Kelvin Brooks, said they had planned to play a police team but that fell through due to work commitments.
