The players will be taking part in the marathon five-a-side football match, which has been kindly sponsored by Boiler Doctor, on Friday May 31 at Raincliffe School's sports hall to raise funds for the new Yorkshire MND Centre in Leeds, inspired by ex-Rugby League player Rob Burrow.

MND is an uncommon condition that affects the brain and nerves that causes weakness that gets worse over time.
