Brandon's U6 Friendly against Essex Royals

Despite today's weather being very grim rain, hail storm and wind, Brandon's U6's team still went ahead and played another friendly football match against the Essex Royals. In the first half Brandon played in defence and seemed a bit reluctant to get his tackles in. I think at half time his team we drawing 3-3. In the second half his coach played him up front but he seemed to prefer sitting back in a more defencive role. The team are showing signs of improving though and ended up winning the game 6-3.

In the afternoon I took all three of the kiddies swimming whilst Tina went off and did some shopping for our Easter holiday. For the first time today I managed to let go of Holly in the deep water and she managed to tread water keeping her head afloat for about 5 seconds or so. She is wearing one of those floaty jackets but it is still an amazing achievement for her age and she is really starting to kick her legs well.
