Bobby Zamora and Glenn Murray will be at Haywards Heath Town as they take on AFC Varndeanians in the Southern Counties Combination on Saturday.

Fans are welcome to take pictures with the former strikers and get a close look at the Premier League trophy, which will also be at Hanbury Park.

Zamora and Murray will go head-to-head in a penalty shoot-out at half-time.

Promotion-chasing Heath have benefited from £123,000 investment from the Premier League Stadium Fund, including towards cost-saving LED Floodlights, installed in 2021 and a full refurbishment of its catering and hospitality offering in 2023.

The latter has contributed to a 40% increase in food matchday revenue.

The Premier League Stadium Fund is celebrating 25 years of investment, with more than £220 million distributed to upgrade infrastructure at more than 1,000 men’s and women’s clubs throughout the English Football League and non-league pyramid.

Haywards Heath commercial director Paul Stone added: “The funding and support we have received from the Premier League Stadium Fund has had a huge impact.

“By switching to energy-efficient floodlights, we’ve saved on fuel bills and we’ve also been able to increase our matchday food offering and income with the recently opened Simmo’s Café.”

Heath are a community-focused club with 20 teams across men’s, women’s and youth football, and more than 300 under-18s playing in boys and girls teams.

Their men’s first team are currently three points behind leaders Steyning with a game in hand.

Match tickets are available on the gate priced £8 for adults and £4 for concessions (under-16s free, must be accompanied by an adult).
