Battle of the Roads charity football match

4 June 2026

Back of the net! A brilliant day was had by all as some of our highways team joined their counterparts in Nottinghamshire for a charity football match.


Dubbed the 'Battle of the Roads', the match at Ilkeston Town Football Club on Sunday saw excited family, friends and colleagues cheering on from the stands and plenty of friendly rivalry, with the Derbyshire team coming out on top 3-0 at the final whistle.

Well done to everyone who took part and for raising more than £2,500 (with more still coming in) to be split between Ashgate Hospice, which provides vital care for people with terminal illnesses, and Pulp Friction, supporting learning disabled and autistic people into work.
