Wardy and the boys win on pens against Palace

Brighton and Hove Albion fans of all ages enjoyed a great evening of exciting football at the Dripping Pan in Lewes, at the annual Robert Eaton Memorial Fund Challenge Match.

Peter flew in from Florida especially for the game, as he is a keen supporter of the REMF, which was founded in memory of Albion fan Robert Eaton, killed in the World Trade Centre on 9/11.

The match is now an annual fixture between Brighton supporters and Crystal Palace supporters, and last night was a treat for the 350+ supporters who watched the Albion fans team stage a comeback from 1-4. Full time ended at 4-4, setting the scene for a penalty shootout.

Peter Ward stepped up and put the first penalty away, to the noisy delight of the Ward devotees in the stand, and his team mates followed his example by scoring each of the next 4 to win.

The evening was judged to be a great success, a 100% increase in attendance, and over £7,000 raised for the Fund. At the reception after the game, MC Alan Wares paid tribute to Peter, acknowledging that the increase was largely due his guest appearance.

Wardy - back in the Stripes!
