You can watch leaders Folkestone free of charge on Saturday and help fight a deadly disease at the same time.

Invicta have waived entrance fees for their league game against Peacehaven & Telscombe in Ryman League Division 1 South.

It’s the latest instalment of the club’s family day initiative and all donations on the day will go to the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).

Title-chasing Folkestone can go nine points clear with a win and it’s a big day for manager Neil Cugley on more than one count.

He said: "It’s a cause close to both myself and my wife Pauline.

"Mark Stanton, who played for me at Ashford Town back in the 1990s, lost a long, brave battle with the disease when he sadly passed away just over two years ago and my wife Pauline’s best friend Carol March is suffering from it right now.

"Mark was a great guy – one of the strongest and fittest lads I’ve ever had. Like Carol, he was one of the nicest people you could ever know.

"When it happens to people like that who you’re close to, you realise just how unkind life can sometimes be."

Folkestone’s first family day, on Good Friday, attracted a crowd of more than 1,000 and Cugley hopes a similar number turn out for Saturday’s clash.

He said: "We want to raise as much money as we can and give the MNDA some publicity. I hope lots of people come down and put money in the buckets.

"We want to show people the club’s improving year by year. We’re top of the league and I want us to show people what a good footballing side we are.

"I want people to see how far Folkestone Football Club has come, how good things are, the pitch and everything about the club.

"While we’re top of the league, that’s the best time to do it. It’s going to be a good day and the more people come down, the more money we can raise for MNDA."
