Rustington Otters Under-10s, coached by Christian Justice, have been undergoing a ‘Road to Wembley’ in aid of Cancer Research UK, so far raising over £1,600. 

Inspired by the recent FA cup ties Rustington have chosen to embark on an exercise challenge with players and parents covering a distance of 57 miles, equal to the distance from Rustington Otters HQ to the home of football, Wembley Stadium. 

After having their season cut short for a second season in a row, Rustington Otters are determined to put the disappointment behind them, remain active during the lockdown, and raise some money for a worthy cause with their efforts. 

Between them they will cover a combined total of 1300 miles as they walk, jog and run the 57 miles over a 4 week period on the Road to Wembley. 

The team are undertaking the fundraising effort in memory of Paul Bridle. Paul was a parent of one of the players and very sadly, recently lost a heroic 18-month battle to cancer. 

Paul was a devoted his time to football, volunteering countless hours coaching and managing teams at Rustington Otters. He was a big supporter of the under-10s and was often on hand to offer his words of encouragement to all the players from the side-lines as they developed from the under-6s to under-10s.
