Tickets are selling fast for a charity football match with big star players.

A team of ex-Arsenal footballers and celebrities are travelling to Eastbourne to take on Eastbourne United Veterans in what looks to be a fantastic one-off charity match. 

Ralph Little from BBC's The Royal Family, Groundforce's Tommy Walsh, Joe Swash from East Enders and Casualty star Patrick Robinson are all set to play along with ex-Arsenal stars Brian Hornsby, Danny O'Shea and Steve Gatting. 

The aim of the match, which kicks off on Sunday at Eastbourne United's home ground The Oval in Channel View Road, is to raise thousands of pounds for the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) and raise awareness of Sudden Death Syndrome, which commonly affects people under the age of 25. 

The local team has been training weekly to make sure they are in top form for the game. 

Tickets for the match are available from the Eastbourne United clubhouse or from Barry Winter on 01323 732 342 and Richard Davies on 01323 643 896 or 07986 673 040. 

Admission is £4 for adults, £2 for children or £10 for a family ticket.
