Family of Hastings man, 21, who died in Kent collision, to hold football tournament in his memory

Josh Alexander, 21 and Jessica Poole, 18, were travelling in Woodchurch, near Ashford, Kent, on June 5.

Their white Vauxhall Corsa was in a collision with a white DAF truck in Plurenden Road at about 5pm, Kent Police said.

Josh was described as having the 'kindest soul' by his family.

Sunday’s tournament at Horntye Park Sports Complex runs from 1pm to 6pm. Teams have been invited to take part in six-a-side matches with the winning team of the tournament taking home the Josh Alexander Cup.

There will also be a raffle, which a number of Hastings businesses have donated to, including Hinkley’s Funeral Service, Be Well Fit, Massage at the Hive, TreatBox, SSN Massage, Play Sports, Let’s Go Play, Freedom Leisure and Too Sweet Lifestyle.

Josh’s family will be selling t-shirts, which have been printed by Stitchwork’s of Hastings to be worn at the tournament, as well as during training for the Brighton Marathon which Josh’s mother and her run group, Heart and Sole Runners will be taking part in next April.
