We had gorgeous blue skies and blazing sun for our Refugee Week football tournament on Sunday. What a morning! Thank you so much to all the players who helped make it such a success. Who needs the World Cup when we have this much talent on our home pitch?! And well done to the lads from Khalid’s Kitchen who took home the trophy.
We definitely couldn’t have done this without the kindness and generosity of the folk at Hastings United, Play Sport and Education Futures Trust who gave their time, skills and knowledge, plus use of their great space and equipment.
This was HVA/Links’ and Simo Rafi’s first attempt putting on a tournament like this to see if there was an appetite for it. Since there clearly was, you can watch this space for future events building on this one!
