After taking it upon themselves to 'Be More Marley', Oxford Hawkes HC raised £7,000 for two charities in loving memory of Marley Oakes. Marley unfortunately passed away aged just


10 months on 7 August 2019 and exactly two years later the club hosted a charity game that saw more than 200 people attend. Alongside the mixed game, there were a whole host of activities


taking place throughout the day in order to raise funds for The Maple Tree and Teddy's Wish. This included face painting and mini matches, while a special stall selling


'bemoremarley' socks and 'Marley's Stars' bracelets was also set up. On the day itself, the club raised more than £3,000 through the activities and teams playing in


a game earlier in the day donating their match fees to the cause. In total, their amount currently sits at £7,000 and there's still time to donate via their JustGiving page.
