More Fun Days - Plymouth


Another great day of football in Plymouth took place on Saturday 26th April. Soccer Sight hosted the second 'Football Fun Day' in the south east. The aim of the day was to give blind and partially sighted children and young people the opportunity to come along and have fun playing football and meeting new people.

As in Exeter we work closely with British Blind Sport, Devon FA and in this case the disability coach from Plymouth Argyle Football in the community, Graham Eyles.

The day began at 11am with two hours of coaching and then off to the nearby park for a picnic in the spring sunshine. The day finished off perfectly with tickets to see Plymouth's last home game against Blackpool. The game which Plymouth won 3 -0 was filled with excitement and the commentary from Adam and David was superb.

Thank you to all involved in making the day a great success. Especially thank you to Barry Hardman from Plymouth Argyle for his support in getting Soccer Sight off the ground!
