Black Patch Park Football Match

16 young people turned up to take part in a Friendly football match against a local team at Black Patch Park Smethwick. Youth leaders took the opportunity to manage coach and play alongside a young team with plenty of talent, some young people travelled from as far as Nechells to be part of a team that would experience team building and uniting communities football match that was played in a great spirit, with both sides playing the beautiful game the way it should be played, competitive but fair. Our close relations with Sport 4 Life made it possible, providing the Transport to and from the game and our coaches aiding the youth leaders with advice and encouragement. It was pleasing to see the young people once again venture outside of their normal surroundings and getting along with other young people, our work in the community has come a long way and the young people are starting to reap the rewards seeing them benefit through community cohesion and the acceptance of other diverse communities.
