#19 Grassroots stories with... April McGrath

It's episode 3 of the #JustTalk season and we invite April McGrath to give her Grassroots story to Rob and Anees. She first came on board the City East management team to help with the admin side of things but now she is the first aider, kit washer, and more recently joined the Hackney and Leyton Football League management committee.

Her story is one of a fired up City East side on their way to success but a side the values the love of the game more than the win itself. As one of the few female volunteers visible on a Sunday morning at Hackney Marshes, April talks of the respect she has for many clubs and her enjoyment of the inclusive atmosphere she revels in.

Despite the disappointment of not completing the last 2 seasons due to covid, City East look a sure bet to finish as league champions and be promoted to the Premier Division. However, the story of April and City East is all about enjoyment. Taking a love for the game onto a pitch you can leave all other troubles behind.
