Charity Soccer Tournament Kicks Off Tonight

The Kickin' It With Friends Soccer Tournament takes over Sureus Fields this weekend.

Each year, the event raises money for a local in need.

This year it benefits Constable Tony Brooks, an RCMP constable in Fort St. John who's battling stage 2 testicular cancer.

Cst. Brooks made headlines last summer when he found a man with severe injuries to his arm and acted quckly, effectivley saving the mans life.



Opening ceremonies for the tournament are set for 5:00 tonight.

A day full of action on Saturday will see a barbeque, an exhibition game that pits the Fort St. John Fire Department against RCMP members, a 50/50 draw and more.
