The fifth 'Andrew Scoffin Memorial Match' took place at Crewe Alexandra Football Club on Sunday 18 May, with the event kindly sponsored by Mornflake, My Cab and ECS.

The first match, in May 2021, was organised by Crewe Alexandra FC stadium announcer and lifelong fan, Andrew Scoffin, to raise funds for The Christie.

Sadly, Andrew passed away later that year in July after a long battle with cancer.
