Today Brandon's U13 football team has the pleasure of being the Mascots for the Hashtag United Seniors team who were playing over at Bowers and Pitsea. The lads got to have 30 mins on the pitch ahead of the game and then got to walk out with the first team and fist bump them all before the match started.
The match itself was very high quality football and despite Hashtag taking a 2-0 lead, the game ended if a 3-3 draw. During the match there was some guy on the sidelines who was reeling off football chant after football chant at the top of his lungs right in front of where our team were sitting. They all found this fun and joined in singing various football chants for the entire match!! They all seemed to have so much fun.
At half time they ran a on pitch challenge to see if anyone could hit the cross bar from outside. They had put a pair of gaming headphones on the cross bar and if you hit the headphones you won them. Well most of our team got very close but none of them actually hit the headphones or the cross bar, except Brandon. Brandon didn't even take his coat off and hit a screamer that bounced of the top cross bar resulting in him winning the headphones.

| Good luck fist bumps all round before kick-off. |
 |
| Only 12 of the 16 could make it today, but they all had fun. Such a great group of lads. |
