A FOOTGOLF tournament will raise money for Oxford Children's Hospital.

Fundraiser Daniel Buttress will hold the competition at the city's Hinksey Heights Golf Club on Saturday, July 16, in aid of the hospital's Paediatric Eye Fund.

The game, played by kicking a football around a golf course, has become increasingly popular in recent years, attracting support from Oxford United players.

The Hinksey Heights tournament is the second annual contest held by the Mr Buttress, and last year's event raised more than £1,000 for the hospital.

Mr Buttress said: "This time we are looking to make the event more family orientated and are looking at ways of raising more money for this worthwhile cause."
