Terrington St Clement man coaches in Ghana

Training soccer-crazy youngsters in Africa has been a 'humbling' and 'eye-opening' experience for West Norfolk community football coach Sam Loomes.

He found many of the children playing on unmarked sandy pitches which were full of holes, with goals of different sizes and constant thunderstorms which turned everything into a quagmire.

But he said he also saw passion and enthusiasm for the game and some talented players that he would have loved to see playing on the pitches back home.

 Sam is now home at Terrington St Clement after two weeks on a voluntary trip working with schools and football clubs in Ghana, which also involved spending money on gifts from Watlington Primary School.
