On Saturday March 19th, Anna Firth, Member of Parliament for Southend West watched Southend United’s football match against Altrincham at Roots Hall which resulted in a 2-0 victory for Southend. Mrs Firth, who has been a committed fan of the football club both before and after her election, was delighted to see two goals in quick succession from Nathan Ralph and Matthew Dennis in the first half.
Speaking after the match, Anna said “I couldn’t be happier for the players and fans of Southend United as they achieve another brilliant victory at Roots Hall. It was a really exciting first half with those two amazing goals from Ralph and Dennis securing a strong 2-0 victory against Altrincham. I love coming to the football and, in fact, every time I have come, I have seen them win! Perhaps I’m their lucky charm! They are a fantastic team and a true asset to the Southend community. I hope to see them deliver more and more victories for Southend going forwards! Go on you Blues!”
