IT looks like being a family affair for the Willis clan, when a Bury FC XI take on Sky TV's 'Dream Team' Harchester United at Gigg Lane on Sunday, writes PHIL THORP.

For no fewer than five family members will be playing some part in the Forever Bury supporters' trust fundraising match.

Places in the team have been auctioned over the past few weeks and have raised a superb £2,245 for trust funds.

Dave Willis of Lowestoft, and sons Tim and Mark, have each paid £120 for the privilege of pulling on a Bury shirt for the encounter, while Dave's Cornwall-based elder brother Peter, and son James, successfully bid £140 to become the Shakers' new management team for the day.

All five of the Willis clan played a big part in saving the club during the dark days of administration, and the Bury Times featured Dave's exploits on the east coast, when he sold more than 200 Shakers' replica shirts to the locals!

There will be a sprinkling of the club's youth team talent to supplement the fans' team, as they look to put the team of actors from Sky TV's soccer soap opera to the sword.

At half time there will be a five-a-side game involving all the female members of the cast (including physio Abby Fletcher!) who will take on a team from Bury Girls and Ladies FC.

Action kicks-off at 1pm, admission is £4 for adults and £2 for concessions, and refreshments will be available in the Starkies Restaurant, while the club's Social Club will also be open for business.
