Cake, kiwi—and celebration cups

Our final session together—and with so much to cram in, it’s no wonder we started off getting a bit ‘tangled up’.

Throwing balls of wool across the room to each other resulted in a wonderfully tangled net, and a lot of words suggested by players, to describe their feelings about Extra Time.

Then Dean led both teams in a rousing rendition of their footballing Anthem which you can listen to below.

A Celebration Trophy for Everyone

Our final activity together was to make personalised trophies to celebrate all that has been achieved.

It’s been such a wonderful 12 weeks, working with residents at Hildesley Court and the children from Pakefield Primary School, that it seemed only fitting that everyone should be awarded a trophy.

Among the inscriptions, there was one for a dad who didn’t give up, despite having cracked two ribs, a trophy of thanks from one player to another, for helping them out; someone even awarded themselves a trophy for Not Eating Fruit.

We’ve learnt about football in the town and we’ve learnt some things about each other; we’ve even learnt a little bit about ourselves. As one participant wrote:

‘I did not know I would have so much fun.’

But, like everyone else involved, she knows now.
