Rising Phoenix Lochgelly Celtic Supporters Club held the fundraiser on the day of the League Cup final (December 15) in aid of group, Gelly Tots.
Craig Kinnear of Rising Phoenix said: “Basically it was a football game that was shown on the big screen and then there was an entry fee charged and a charity raffle. There were about 130 to 140 people.
“We were delighted, it was a really successful day and although it was our supporter’s club that organised the event, it was well supported by other supporters’ clubs in the area.
