A football match in memory of murdered teenager Harvey Willgoose is set to be played today.

Money raised will go towards Harvey's Hub - which is a youth club aiming to bring people together after the tragedy.

Harvey's dad Mark has been telling us more about it:

"Harvey's Hub is like a youth club.

"We put sessions on for kids free of charge.

"We feed them - they come down and have a good time.

"They can play football or Xbox games together; whatever they fancy doing.

"There will be loads of raffle prizes on the day of the charity football match.

"Come down - it'll be a good laugh, and we'll generate some funds for Harvey's hub.

"It's at Isobel Bowler on the old Westfield school site.

"We'll have a football tournament in the morning and a charity football match in the afternoon."

A 15-year-old boy was found guilty of murdering Harvey at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield in February.

He's set to be sentenced later this year.
