Charlton Upbeat William Cottrell joined Charlton Legend Scott Minto, former SoccerAM star “Tubes” and his brother Ange at London Golf Club for an episode of their Golf Life YouTube channel.
Ahead of the Upbeats Walk on April 20th, which this year is being sponsored by We Are Brandnew, William teamed up with Scott to face Tubes and Ange for a nine-hole round of golf.
The Upbeats Walk is the annual fundraising event which sees over 150 Charlton fans walk nine miles from Charlton Athletic’s Training Ground in New Eltham to The Valley in aid of the Upbeats programme.
The Charlton Upbeats offers children and adults with Down’s syndrome the opportunity to play football in a safe and welcoming environment and has been running for 15 years now. The Upbeats have regular training sessions and take part in tournaments and competitions across the United Kingdom throughout the year.
As they made their way around the course, Tubes and Ange spoke to the Charlton pair about the Upbeats programme and the upcoming walk.
Reflecting on the day, Scott said:
“We’ve been here at the London Club playing with Will and the boys Tubes and Ange. I think we lost 3 to 1 in the end, but Will was superb.”
The Upbeats Walk is just a part of what the Upbeats is all about and the Upbeats is just a part of what the Trust is as well. Out of the 70 projects going on by the Trust, the Upbeats is the only one that isn’t fully funded so donations is what it’s all about.
Tubes said:
“I thought William was an absolute superstar alongside Scott Minto. His golf was phenomenal and what a lovely fellow.
