Edenvale Football Club (EFC) painted the town pink with their annual Cansa Tournament on October 14 and 15.
A total of 91 teams took part in the two-day fundraiser tournament.
The tournament was established seven years ago by the current chairperson Tony Dias after he was diagnosed with colon cancer in early 2016.
