A football match held in memory of a former Suffolk childminder helped to raise more than £5,000 for a charity that provides specialist palliative care.
The game between Felixstowe and Walton United's under-18s and Sunday morning side Felixstowe Wanderers took place at United's Martello Ground in memory of Cheryle Taylor.
A 421-strong crowd watched Wanderers win 4-1, with donations being made to the St Elizabeth Hospice.

The mother-of-six worked as a childminder in Felixstowe and then as a social worker for Suffolk social services after training for a degree at home.
In total, £5,693.75 has been raised for the hospice, including £1,165 taken on the gates at the football match, while money was also raised from other sources, including a tribute page on the website muchloved.com.
Cheryle had been provided with end-of-life care by the hospice, so her family decided to arrange the football match to help the charity.
Her son Simon said: "Cheryle retired at 51 due to health issues but despite being in hospital for many years she showed amazing character and fight and always had a smile on her face and would always chat for England as we would say.
"She would always make sure everyone was alright before herself."
As well as Simon, Cheryle was also mum to Amy, Sarah, Kylie, James and Josh and grandmother to Harry, Daisy, Ella, Elias, Amelia and Everly.
Simon said: "As a family, we are so grateful for the wonderful support and donations from everyone – my mum would have been so proud."
