A football tournament has been held in Norwich in order to raise money for Help for Heroes (H4H).

The Heroes Charity 5-A-Side competition saw nine teams play each other for the right to get their hands on the winner's plate, the Norwich Evening News reports.

Tournament organiser William Grundy said: "I would like to thank all the teams who came along and supported this event."

James Lalond, manager at Goals Soccer Centre – which hosted the tournament – labelled it a "great success" and revealed another one is going to be held in November.

"It was a great day and it was good to see so many people taking part," Mr Lalond said.

All of the money collected will be used to provide practical support to injured personnel, veterans and their families and comes at a time when many former soldiers are taking part in the Paralympic Games.
