STUDENTS are to take on police in a charity football match this week.
The game between Durham University Students' Union and Durham Police will take place at the Racecourse Sports Ground, in the city, at 2pm on Saturday.
The game, which will raise money for the Sunderland and district branch of the charity Scope and the Asian tsunami appeal, has been organised by the students and volunteers from Barclays Bank.
Money raised will be matched with a donation from the bank.
Admission is £1.50 and there will be a raffle on the day for a signed Newcastle United shirt.
Barclays spokeswoman Stella McRae: "At Barclays, we are committed to communities and we are delighted to support the tsunami appeal."
