Six players from Barnet FC’s 1st team squad; Mark Bryne, Jake Hyde, Nick Jupp, Graham Stack, David Stephens and Curtis Weston visited The Bridge Day Centre, an adult mental health day centre in Harrow, and took part in a coaching session and friendly match at the Harrow Leisure Centre, where the community football team train during winter.
The warm-up training session was led by Barnet FC coach, Martin Flannery, and the final score of the friendly match, which was refereed by Simon Jenkins, Occupational Therapist at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, was an admirable 5 – 3 to Barnet FC. Following the session, the Barnet FC players joined the service users’ community football team at the Bridge Day Centre for tea and cake hosted by Rethink Mental Illness and presented the goal scorers with signed footballs.
