At Overbury House, a friendly conversation turned into a day Cynthia will never forget.
While talking with Max, one of the home’s Kitchen Assistants, Cynthia shared her love of rugby and her admiration for England star Ben Youngs.
Cynthia from Overbury House enjoys a day out at Holt Rugby Club with Max, who plays for the Under-18 Colts team.
Max, who also plays for Holt Rugby Club, realised they had a shared passion. He suggested Cynthia come along to watch one of his matches. She happily accepted, excited at the thought of cheering on a local team and seeing Max play in person.
Cynthia Cheers on Holt Rugby Club to Victory
On Sunday 19th October, Cynthia joined fans at Holt Rugby Club to watch the Under-18 Colts play North Walsham. She took her place along the sideline, cheering and clapping with the crowd.
The match was intense and competitive. Both teams fought hard for every point, and the game kept everyone on edge until the final whistle. Holt ultimately claimed a 25–21 victory, and Max’s strong performance earned him the title of Player of the Match. Cynthia couldn’t stop smiling as she applauded him.
She also enjoyed the simple pleasures of the day- chatting with other supporters, watching the players’ skillful moves, and tucking into a warm bacon roll. “It was such a wonderful day, and I loved every minute of it,” Cynthia said afterwards.
