going to charities close to his heart.

Eamonn Dolan died of cancer in June at the age of 48.

The people today who have m`de it happen, from the club

to celebrate, really, Eamonn's life and his contrhbution

to football, because, above all football was Eamonn's passion.

All the good things about this club actually come back to Eamonn.

Good evening. We have had a bright day today but we have also had a

windy day. Now that wind has been windy day. Now that wind has been

picking up ahead of a weathdr front of the weather front has bedn

affecting the Channel Islands today and it is starting to spill into the

south-west as well. Expect some rain through the night tonight. Heavy in

places of the fairly extenshve low cloud. Hill fog about, too. But that

will keep it mild as we head into tomorrow morning. So tomorrow we

start off on a grey, damp note. As the day goes on, we might sde a

little brightness breaking through. That will allow heavy, posshbly

under thisry showers developing The winds are turning lighter for

tomorrow. And we have highs of between 11-15. Eventually mhlder air

spills N it settles down as we head towards the middle of the wdek. Good

evening. Goodbye for now.
