At today's football matches all the boys from Forest Glade were asked to complete 1 minutes silence out of respect for the victims of the past weeks terrorist attack on Westminster, London. So last night me and Holly sat down and made up 20 special stick on badges for Brandon's team, the opposition and the coaches to wear. Surprisingly the badges stayed on as I did fear we would end up with a pitch littered with "We Are Not Afraid" badges.
Its great to do things like this for the kids on the football team as it is important that as a coach we try and teach them good values, respect ad awareness of such atrocities that impact on our country. What happened in Westminster was just tragic with some lunatic running people over in a stolen car on Westminster bridge before breaking in to the grounds at Westminster and fatally stabbing a policeman. We spoke to the boys about this event and they really couldn't understand why people would ever do anything like this. I can't give them any logical explanation as to why terrorists do what they do.

| The badges looked really good next to the Forest Glade logo. |

| Amazingly they stayed on the shirts throughout the whole match (which incidentally we won 6-2). |
