SAINTS legend Matt Le Tissier will be playing beach football again later this month.

Le Tiss, along with Jimmy Case, will be playing for a Saints Old Boys team in this year's Kronenbourg Cup Beach Football tournament to be held in Brighton over the last weekend of June.

Saints take on a Brighton old boys team on Friday 27 as part of the European leg of the Pro Beach Soccer League that was established in 2001.

The popularity of the Brazilians' favourite game has taken off ever since Eric Cantona began to champion its virtues and his national team France, will be competing against sides from England, Italy and Portugal at this year's event.

The tournament proved a massive success when it was held in Brighton for the first time last year.

It was voted "Best Event" of the Pro Beach Soccer League season as over 2,500 spectators turned up for each of the three days.

Le Tissier played for an England side but couldn't prevent the Swiss from winning.

Tickets are available by the day at a price of £9.50 for an adult, £5.50 for a child and £25 for a family ticket that admits two adults and two children under 12.

Le Tissier is in action this coming weekend, too, as he competes in the Saints team playing in the Masters Over-35s tournament at Milton Keynes.
