Discussing the Football Blitz programme, which was held at Blythefield 3g facility at the end of July, Angela Johnston from GVRT said:
“We would like to thank Hagan Homes for providing funding to support this football programme, which engaged 30 local young people aged between five and 11 years old.
“The daily routine with our coaching staff started with football skills, games and ended with football matches. Every child received a medal and a trophy with special trophies for a cross bar challenge and best helpers.”
