A FOOTBALL team helping men affected by baby, child, and pregnancy loss is having a charity match this Saturday (30).

Wynter’s Wish United FC, which was created by a father suffering from PTSD after the loss of his daughter, will be playing against the Play2Give charity at Edmonds Park in Didcot from 11am.

Gary Andrews formed the team after he and his wife Sarah lost their daughter Wynter in 2019 at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre as a result of a lack of oxygen to the brain caused by infection and problems during labour.
