Hi friends

Recently my football obsessed son (7) saved up to buy a women’s World Cup branded football. We’ve been playing football at the front of our place on Arrow Street, but haven’t been good at bringing the ball inside afterwards.

It was last seen by one of the mini goals that we have. We’ve looked everywhere and checked with the neighbours but it can’t be found. I’d hate to think someone has come and taken it but that looks like the only conclusion - even if it was some larrikin grabbing it and booting it down the street.

It has either “Kit” or “Kit Mason” written on it. If anyone sees it and could get in touch it would make a small boy very happy.

Thanks all

Nick
