WFA TLH Kicking Cancer travelled to Carlton Football Academy in Nottingham to take on Nottingham Forest FCCT on World Cancer Survivors Day.
KC got off to a flying start when debutant Mark Atterbury found the net with a well struck low shot.
NF were soon on level terms though with a powerful shot following a well worked free kick routine.
The game was finely poised but KC took the lead again just before half time with a nice finish from Peter Stokes aka Junior.
Forest started the second half purposefully and Paul Roche in KC had to make a couple of smart saves.
Soon after though Mark added his second and third goals to make it 4-1 going in to the last quarter.
Forest were still creating chances but a fourth for Mark and a smart finish from Chris Tibbetts put the game out of their reach.
They never gave up though and scored a deserved second goal minutes from the end.
The match was played in a good spirit and well reffed by Andrew Dilley.
A rematch will definitely take place later in the year.
