Vernon Kay vs. Halton Spartans: The Comic Relief Bowl

The Halton Spartans will partake in a special fundraising event on Friday 13th March for Red Nose Day at Manchester Airport.

2014 BritBowl winners the London Warriors will fly to Manchester Airport to take on the Halton Spartans in a series of challenges.

Teams of four or five players from either side will do battle in several games including a bungee run, and ‘weight’ lifting a girl in BA uniform.

This event is likely to attract national coverage as one of the London Warriors players in attendance will be Free Safety Vernon Kay, former BBC Radio 1 DJ and current host of ITV's Family Fortunes.

Most of the duel will take place in British Airways Departure Lounge at Manchester Airport before heading to Didsbury- the home of British Airways City Flyer Headquarters.

Vernon Kay is an ambassador of BA's Flying Start which is British Airways’ global charity partnership with Comic Relief. In three years they have raised over £9 million to help children living incredible tough lives here in the UK and in the countries around the world that they fly to.
