In March 2011, Ben Daniels (goalkeeper for Ex-Blues Hurricanes U15 football team) collapsed during a training session and, despite the best efforts of hospital staff, died a few days later from an undiagnosed heart condition.
After the loss of their team-mate, the boys decided to sport the CRY logo on their match shirts to help raise awareness of young sudden cardiac death and CRY.
The team, who are currently placed third in their group in the Tandridge Youth Football League, were able to show off their new shirts at the Tandridge Youth Football League Trophy Under 15 Final on 28 April 2011.
Dean Houlden, Manager/Coach of Ex-Blues Hurricanes, said “Unfortunately they did not win the final but they are still very proud of their shirts and we hope to arrange some football matches this summer to raise money for your worthwhile charity as well as making people aware of CRY.”
