Sunday League - Original Painting - LukeHorton Art

Junior football was a main feature of my childhood. I began training at age five and never looked back! I have vivid memories of those strewn along the touch line on wet and cold Sunday mornings. The manager’s love for the game and devotion to the kids; nothing else mattered on those damp chilly mornings. As we prepared for the game grown-ups would chat about yesterday’s footy while entertaining our brothers and sisters and keeping them warm. Grandparents were there with fold up chairs, umbrellas, and hot drinks in flasks. When the ref started the game support from the touch line was second to none, despite the weather!
