Eastbourne Borough players and coaching staff visited the Conquest Hospital this week to meet children and their families, and gave out gifts to get them in the Christmas spirit.

Borough manager Adam Murray commented: “I am really pleased, along with the players, to be back visiting the Kipling Ward at Conquest Hospital in Hastings for this annual tradition.

“It was a humbling and memorable afternoon, and we enjoyed meeting the children and their families. Christmas is a difficult time to be in hospital, so I hope we were able to bring some festive cheer.

“On behalf of everyone at Eastbourne Borough Football Club, I would like to wish everyone at the hospital a very Merry Christmas.”
