A grass roots football club has received an outpouring of support after a fire destroyed their equipment.
MSB Woolton FC was devastated by a fire which ripped through their club hut on Camp Hill, off School Lane in Woolton, where thousands of children play football each week. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said two fire engines were called to the blaze at 6.12pm on Sunday, October 9, and arrived on scene eight minutes later.
On arrival, fire crews found a pile of timber involved in the blaze, which had also spread to a metal portacabin. Merseyside Police said it is believed the fire was started deliberately.
