A Tolworth team beat a celebrity side featuring stars from Coronation Street and Casualty and former Arsenal footballer Ray Francis at a charity football match this weekend.

The game, held in aid of Once Upon a Smile charity and the Corinthian Casuals, took place on King George’s Field, Tolworth, on Sunday. 

Corinthian Casuals beat the celebrities 4-3.

Llew Walker, chairman of Corinthian Casuals youth section, said: “It was a very, very successful day for the club in putting it on the local map."

Daniel Jillings (Coronation Street; Casualty) and Will Rush (Waterloo Road) joined a line-up of soap stars and former footballers taking on the challengers.

They drew in a crowd of an estimated 1,200.

Mr Walker said: "They all were absolutely fantastic but I never heard of any of them. They went out of their way to sign autographs."

He added that the soap-stars have asked for a rematch.
