Southend United Ball Boy

The weekend before last Brandon was invited to be a ball boy for the day for the Southend United Vs Wexham game at Roots Hall. Whilst the game wasn't great Brandon had an absolute blast and it was a really good opportunity for him to bond further with his new team. In addition to that he got to have a tour around the stadium and meet all the first team players as well as having front row seats for the game.

As Tina was sleeping after working nights I had to take Joshua and Brandon with me as well. So another first for Holly as this was her first proper football match experience. She lasted about 15 mins before getting bored and then sitting on her IPad.

He refused a picture with the Southend mascot though!
