Cross Bar Challenger is a new iPhone app game that aims to raise money for local
football teams.

Developed by football coach Benn Carson, the game was inspired by watching children
attempting to hit a crossbar with the ball at a football game.

Crossbar Challenger includes several levels where you challenge yourself to flick
a football onto the crossbar to generate points. The objective of the game is to
hit as many points as you can to top the leadership board. The more points you hit
the more levels you unlock.

It can also be used to raise funds for grassroots football clubs, with a commitment
to share the profits on a given day with a local club, with 25p per download being
received by the club. For example, [sales on 30 January](http://www.larklane.com/x/posterversion3printhisone.pdf)
will benefit Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Crossbar Challenger is available for the iPhone, iPod and iPad for download at 59p.
