Sheffield FC, whose proud boast is that they are the world's oldest football club - they were formed in 1856 - are doing their bit to keep both visiting Euro 96 supporters and locals entertained.

Sheffield are taking part in a triangular international tournament along with another local non-League side, Hallam (formed 1860) and the Danish club, Hvidovre, who will play Sheffield at Owlerton Stadium (less than a mile from Hillsborough) on Saturday (12 noon).

On Sunday (11am) Sheffield play Hallam in a summer "derby" while Hallam take on Hvidovre on Monday (7pm) at their Sandygate ground. Further details from Graeme Hinchcliffe on 0114 255 5450.
