Ethan Provides the Inspiration
Sixteen year old Ethan was one of our original mascots when the Trust launched the scheme several years ago. When he asked to do it again, it was a pleasure to see one of our old boys still enthusiastically supporting the boys in this way. Ethan attends St.Julians High School and his favourite players are Craig Hill and Andy Brown. Andy was handed the captains role for this match and both he and Craig met up with Ethan for the all important photo shoot. Prior to this, Ethan also had a picture taken with the walking wounded. This match was a tall order for Newport against an impressive Aberavon side, especially considering injuries and regional committments and yet agian the squad included several young players on permit from lower division clubs. We like to think that our mascot just may have supplied that small ingrediant of inspiration to help Newport come from behind to clinch victory at the death. Nick Jackson. FoNR Community Rep |
