Brent River College students enjoyed an FA Cup semi-finals match on their doorstep, Wembley Stadium, England’s national stadium. Many of the students are avid football fans so this was an opportunity not to be missed; the Premiership champions Manchester City versus Sheffield United. It was a lovely day for the match which saw Manchester City sail through to win the match 3 nil with a hat-trick from Riyad Mahrez.
Students were happy to not have had to travel too far. Most of them had never been to a football match before and some aren’t even football fans, so this was a great experience for them which they will remember.
“I can’t believe I got to see one of my heroes, Erling Haaland!”
“We had some good seats so we could see all the action”
“I want to be able to do this again and again”
