Eynesbury United FC collected donations to help buy a plaque which will be erected in the town to support the family of Patrick Kenny. Patrick, 25,took his own life in February this year after battling with his mental health.
Eynesbury United FC played against Linton Granta FC, on Saturday October 10. The team won 2:1 against Linton Granta FC and collected £133.55 in donations.
Patrick’s family want a permanent plaque to be placed on St Neots town bridge.

“We are really grateful for all the support from the football club and hope now we can get a plaque put in place.”
