The event was held at the Sheffield United academy training ground on 17th June 2007. A charity football game between 1st Class Mails (a team from the Royal Mail) and SUFA All Stars (a team of ex-professional footballers from the local region) took place on the day with the game ending in a 2-0 win to the SUFA All Stars.

The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress also made an appearance to present the "Stanley Shield" to the winning team.
