Mini-Soccer go red for Sport Relief
On Saturday 20th March 2010 St Agnes AFC min-soccer school hosted their own mile for Sport Relief at a drizzley, mizzley wet Enys Parc. Undaunted by the weather the boys lined up with their parents, friends and supporters to complete 5 laps of Enys Parc - technically measured out to meet the one mile requirement!
All the boys aged 5 and 6 years had been asked to turn up wearing something red and Angus who bravely declared on his arrival "I am wearing everything red except my pants!" was quickly picked as the winner of the red ball prize for the child wearing most red!
On the blast of the whistle George set off at a very quick pace closely followed by Ethan leaving many of the parents behind. Five year old Cameron is pictured outpacing his dad, and Callum and Angus are pictured easily out running theirs. All of those taking part put in a tremendous effort with Reece winning the red ball prize for showing some extra special enthusiastic running. The fifth and final lap proved the most exciting and popular when it was revealed to be not only a backwards lap of the course but also a surprise early Easter Egg Hunt with eggs hidden around the ground for all the children to find. A penalty shoot out with parents followed, the children taking the victory. As the children tucked into a party spread of food, their coach and Club Chairman Mandy Kimmins explained that the monies the squad had raised in sponsorship totalling £200 would be used by Sport Relief, half in this country and half abroad, to help others less fortunate than themselves.
George was presented with the St Agnes AFC Sport Relief red ball prize for collecting the most sponsorship. Aaron, Reef, and Hank were also presented with balls for their recent improvement and growing confidence as mini-soccer. Mandy Kimmins commented "I really want to congratulate this super group of talented mini-soccer players. They have entered into today's event with wonderful enthusiasm and vigour. St Agnes AFC is very proud of them and the effort they have made to raise such a lot of money for Sport Relief."
St Agnes AFC mini-soccer meet on term-time Saturday mornings at St Agnes School and would love to meet and boys and girls aged 5/6 years interested in joining their enthusiastic squad, for more details please call Mandy Kimmins on 07974 370666.
