Charity Match – Malvern Town Football Club
A lively charity clash at Malvern Town FC saw Rose & Daisy FC come out 7–5 winners against Derbyshire United, in a game packed with goals, momentum swings, standout performances, and played in superb spirits for a great cause.
First Half
Derbyshire United struck first, taking a 14th-minute lead with a driven effort from outside the box that flew into the bottom-left corner.
Rose & Daisy FC responded well and were rewarded in the 27th minute, as Matthew Moore levelled the score with a composed, tidy finish.
Derbyshire regained their advantage in the 33rd minute after a loose pass from RDFC’s Jamie Peters was intercepted in midfield. A quick through ball released the striker, who made no mistake to make it 2–1.
RDFC came inches from equalising before the break. After a corner was cleared to the edge of the area, the center-back struck a brilliant half-volley from 18 yards that rattled off the post.
Second Half

The momentum kept flowing as Moore completed his hat-trick, rising highest to head home from a pinpoint Andy Beck corner, stretching the lead to 4–2.
Another Beck corner moments later caused chaos in the box. After a header crashed off the bar, Moore reacted quickest, poking in a left-footed effort from close range to claim his fourth and make it 5–2.
RDFC’s dominance continued when Wesley Hemming bent a beautiful 20-yard curling shot into the bottom-right corner, extending the lead to 6–2.
Derbyshire United kept fighting and pulled one back from the penalty spot after a late challenge in the box, reducing the deficit to 6–3.
But the day belonged to Matthew Moore, who grabbed his fifth goal of the match after a superb through-ball from Andy Beck. Moore weaved past two defenders before delicately chipping the onrushing keeper to make it 7–3.
Derbyshire added a late consolation, beating the RDFC defensive line with a ball over the top and finishing calmly to close the game at 7–4.
