On Tuesday 26th January I took part in 5 side football as part of a social activity with the Mencap Liverpool’s Gentleman’s club at Greenback Sports academy.

To start it off we did a warm up stretching our muscles on each part of our body we then Sheldon who runs the gentleman’s club puts us into two teams. I started off in goal and I managed to stop a couple of balls going into the net.

Halfway through the game I switched from goalie to striker I tried to tackle the other players in the other team but I fell over. We scored about an estimate of 16 goals. Kevin another member of staff was in goal we could have got more but Kevin was a natural in goal.

It was a good afternoon everyone was knackered and we then went for a drink, in the future I would like to play more football and other sports to get fit and healthy .
