SAFC stars smash Creme Egg Challenge

With Foundation Matchday edging ever closer, Sunderland AFC stars have been showcasing their tricks and skills as part of the Foundation of Light Creme Egg Challenge.

In parallel with our dedicated matchday on Good Friday, we thought we’d set an Easter-themed challenge to mark the occasion. 

Alex Pritchard, Dan Neil, Luke O'Nien went head-to-head at the Academy of Light, battling it out to see who could do the most keepy-ups with a Creme Egg.

Lynden Gooch joined in the fun as he attended the Beacon of Light for the Foundation’s Schools Networking Breakfast.

Foundation staff and participants have also been getting into the Easter spirit, with girls and coaches from our Emerging Talent Centre taking on the challenge.

Lee Moore, Director & Lead Coach at PROformance Athlete Development took the opportunity to express his talents, setting the bar high after recording an impressive 17 keepy-ups.
