The event, which was free for all members, was rounded off by a kids’ entertainer who took over with a host of party games.

The winners of the raffle received a full mascot package and the opportunity to meet and interview their favourite player, with a write-up in the match programme.

Seasiders captain Jimmy Ryan said: “Activities like this are really important at this time of year.

“It was an enjoyable afternoon for the kids and a great opportunity for the players to meet our junior supporters. On behalf of the squad, I’d like to wish them all a merry Christmas.”
