With Welsh soccer star Gareth Bale on a quest to get his hands on the Champions League Trophy in Cardiff this weekend, four young Narberth football fanatics have their very own mission to get some support from their sporting idol.

Marley Tilley, Archie and Isaac Owen and Jack Jones - all pupils at Narberth School - will be undergoing a charity headshave at the school on Friday, June 9, to raise money for JDRF and Cancer Research, causes which are close to the boys hearts.

The boys, all aged seven, all play for Narberth Juniors AFC, a section of Narberth AFC which was started by Marley’s mum, Marie Tilley, with just 10 kids, and now features over 100, from ages six-11.

Marie has been on a lifelong mission to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes since Marley’s diagnosis as a baby.

She’s raised over £7,000 so far and was Pembrokeshire fundraiser of the year last year.

Marley came up with the idea himself to shave his head to raise funds for charity and his three best friends jumped at the chance to line-up in joining him for the challenge.

The boys became so excited by their fun fundraising task, that to drum up more interest, they came up with the Twitter hashtag #findingbale because they are hoping that their hero Gareth Bale will acknowledge what they are doing and maybe send them a message, as well as spread a bit of awareness.

Bale will be hoping to be part of the starting line-up for Real Madrid tomorrow (Saturday) night when the Spanish league champions take on Juventus at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to win the coveted European trophy.

Anyone who wants to join in and get behind the boys’ campaign can tweet #findingbale and follow Marie’s Twitter profile at @MarieTilley2 which features a series of video messages from Marley and his mates.

More details of Marie’s own fundraising efforts can also be viewed on the Facebook page Marie’s Mission.

A ‘Pink and Blue’ ladies day will also be held at Plas Hyfryd in Narberth on Saturday, June 10, when 180 women will be getting together for a day of fundraising for the juvenile diabetes and Cancer Research charities.
