The Opponent
The opposition side, Thames Valley Air Ambulance FC (TVAA FC), was formed in 2017 to raise money in memory of four-year-old Barnaby, who sadly lost his life following a tragic incident in Thame, Oxfordshire.
Five years on TVAA FC are still playing charity football matches and have raised almost £40,000 for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance, which serves the people of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.
Stuart Gibson, Founder of TVAA FC, said: “Over the last couple of years we have adopted a new approach with a focus on playing football against fellow charity teams, again this helps support and raise awareness for our opponents’ charities along with keeping our team and the Thames Valley Air Ambulance in the spotlight. We are looking forward to taking on the team from Cornwall Air Ambulance on their home turf.”
