Football Marathon raises £25,000 for 'Tackle Africa'

Islanders in Jersey have raised more than £25,000 to help increase awareness of AIDS and HIV in Africa.

160 people have been taking part in the Football Marathon at Les Quennevais - playing 6-a-side games continuously for 12 hours.

Players are given short rests and breaks for water, but organisers say it is a tough challenge.

Similar events are being held in London, Lancaster and Brighton to raise money for charity, Tackle Africa.
