Hearing impaired children showed off their silky skills as they were treated to a coaching session from Macclesfield Town FC.
The youngsters were involved in a community football day organised by Macclesfield Town and the Paediatric Audiology Department at Macclesfield Hospital.
The eight children visited the club on the day of their clash with Bristol.
The event included a coaching session with community football coaches from the club, and the children also took part in a half-time football match against each other as the club’s spectators watched on.
James Wallis, assistant manager of Macclesfield Town’s community scheme, said: “Everyone had a great day and the children were all so happy at the end of their visit.
“They got the chance to meet some of the club’s players and even formed a guard of honour for them at the entrance of the tunnel as they came out to play against Bristol.
“Then at half time they played a match against each other which ended 2-2 after a last minute goal by one of the teams.
“I would like to thanks the audiology department for helping to organise the day for this great group of children.”
