Phoenix spreading Christmas cheer
The Children’s wards got a special visit today from Wellington’s A-League soccer team The Phoenix.
It was the team’s first Christmas visit to the Children’s wards (18 and 19). Owner Terry Serepisos said because the players had such a huge following amongst children the team wanted to pay a special visit. “This is a way to give something back to the kids because the Phoenix is all about getting kids involved.”
And while many were just pleased to meet the team some even had a few words of advice for them, like young Matthew Polgrase who told Brazilian midfielder Daniel Cortez he better “Go back and train hard” for tomorrow night’s must-win clash against the Central Coast Mariners.
“He’s right,” said Daniel, “it’ll be a hard game and we must win to stay alive in the competition.”
