Brighton Trip Day 7

Today the boys were off to the training ground directly after breakfast for a recovery session with the BHAFC coaches.  This session included Soccer Tennis as well as various small sided games, then it was back to the hotel for some small sided games.  After that the boys took a break back at the hotel for some lunch.

It was right back to the training ground where they got a presentation from Mark Dring, the Marketing Manager of Brighton FC, who gave insight to the business side of the Premier League and possible career pathways for anyone interested in making the business side of soccer a career one day.

Next the boys departed the training ground to St. Mary's stadium home to Southampton FC for a massive game against Fulham.  Both teams are currently in the battle to stay in the Premier League with relegation a possbility for both.  The boys enjoyed pre-match activities outside of the stadium including a soccer skills test as well as a dance off with the club mascot.  Ultimately the boys were treated to a very entertaining game in which Southampton won 2-0.  After two very grueling days of training and games, it was nice for the boys to have a bit of recovery and catch a game for themselves.
