Player nominations are being called for for the inaugural Headspace Tamworth Charity Football Event.
The October 9 event will feature a Ladies All Stars clash and a battle of youth and experience with the Old Boys (30-and-over) of the Premier Division taking on the Young Guns (under-30).
Moore Creek's Dean Hoy has been the driving force behind the event, which is being supported by Northern Inland Football and will be staged at Ken Chillingworth Oval.

"He brought it to my attention and we jumped on board," NNSWF Northern Inland Regional Co-Ordinator Toby McVey said.
A nice way to bring the local football community together at the end of the season, he added they thought it was "a great match" with Headspace, particularly given the participation rates among the youth age groups.
Nominations for the men's and women's teams close on midnight September 12 and can be emailed to headspace.charitysoccergame@gmail.com
Players wishing to nominate for the Old Boys v Young Guns game must be registered with a current Northern Inland Premier Division club and be turning 15 this year. Likewise players interested in being involved in the All Stars clash must be registered with a current Tamworth competition club and have turned 14.
The respective coaches will then select the teams from the nominations.
Oxley Vale Attunga coach Tim Coates will be in charge of the under-30s side and North Companions mentor Gavin Thompson the over-30s. The women's coaches are still to be confirmed.
McVey said there will be a minimum of one player from each club per team and a maximum of five.
