Football: Town fan Hembleys loved Wembley
TOWN fan Andrew Hembleys missed out on a £100,000 cash jackpot - but did not mind after watching Sunday's Blue Square Premier play-off final in style.
The 30-year-old was one of five fans aiming for the six-figure pay out in a competition organised by the league sponsors.
He qualified for the final of a nationwide 'keepy uppie' competition and was in the final at Wembley to watch Exeter and Cambridge United battle for a place in the Football League.
Competitors had to land a football in a box measuring 1.5m by 1.5m to hit the jackpot and Hembleys went close, hitting the target but without getting the ball in.
"The day out at Wembley was amazing," said Hembleys. "I went without expecting to win because just going there was the prize so I was not disappointed at all.
"It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience."
