Marine FC staged its second football tournament and knife crime prevention event in conjunction with independent UK charity Crimestoppers.
Teams of boys and girls from year 8 represented Everton, Liverpool, Marine and Tranmere - the four Merseyside football clubs which are part of Crimestoppers Four Clubs One Goal initiative. Their message Enough is Enough addresses the fact too many young people are victims of knife crime on Merseyside, too many young people are being tempted to carry knives and too many families are mourning the loss of a loved one.
The round-robin football tournament also featured short sessions on the dangers of knife crime led by James Riley founder of the Gangs programme, Street Doctors and Crimestoppers. The teams who represented each club won their place in the finals after competing in tournaments held by each club over the preceding week.
