CORONATION Street's Kevin Webster, alias actor Mike Le Vell, will be among a star-studded team of players kicking off for charity in a tense rematch against football heroes from the past.

Other stars from Coronation Street, Brookside and Hollyoaks will again challenge the Rovers veterans at Darwen Football Club's Anchor Ground.

The score so far is one win each and the deciding match on August 18 has been organised by the Darwen Friends of the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust, with help from the Blackburn group.

A host of side-shows from bouncy castle to face painting, karate displays and a jazz band, will also be vying for the crowd's attention at the match which kicks off at noon.
