Top stuff Mariners, in particular the staff who make it all happen.
My uncle lives on the central coast and his son (my cousin) is a mad soccer fan.he asked my uncle one day he would like to be ball boy for the central coast mariners.My uncle went to the club today and asked one of the ladies in the office about Mitchell being a ball boy.She asked my uncle how old he is and my uncle said he is 10 years old and she said unfortunatly they only take kids who are 12 years old and older and only take them with players from the same club so that they know eachother.My uncle said to her that it was ok and he will bring him back in a few years once he is old enough.
She then said to my uncle to wait a minute and then she went out and returned saying that he couldn't be ball boy and my uncle replied back by saying that he would bring him back in a few years and then she said dont be silly we have another job for him to do,So on the first day of the new season my cousin will be walking out with the central coast mariners dressed up in all there gear from hat to his shoes (which he gets to keep) and walk onto the park with the captain of the central coast mariners.He gets to meet the central coast mariners and all that plus walk onto the ground.Its going to be an absolute buzz for him and i think its great that they are letting him do it not only because he is my cousin but even if they did it for someone else its awesome to see a club no matter who they are letting there younger supporters feel apart of the club.

That's really generous of the mariners to do that for your cousin. They have the best PR in the competition i reckon.
