Park Hall, home of JD Cymru champions, The New Saints, played host to Match for Mind this weekend as some of the UK’s biggest influencers went head-to-head in a football match designed to raise money for one of the UK’s biggest mental health charities, Mind.
Featuring stars such as Bootlegger, Cal the Dragon, Angry Ginge and Morgz, the match finished 7-2 to Bootlegger’s Red’s and featured a contender for the world's best hat-trick from TikTok sensation Harry Cain, which saw him score a panenka penalty, a rabona from outside the box and a goal from his own half.
Usually the home of one of the UK’s most successful football teams, Park Hall is no stranger to great goals, as the side currently sit top of the Welsh Premier with their sights set on Champions League qualification at the end of this season.

Now, having seen Harry Cain score potentially the world’s best hat-trick at his stadium, TNS chairman Mike Harris is eyeing up a potential move for the TikTok star.
“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I watched it back – I’ve been in football for three decades and have never seen anything like that. I might have to get in touch and see if he fancies coming down for a trial if he keeps scoring goals like that," said Harris.
Reflecting on the fixture, Match for Mind organiser Kieran Davies said: “It was an incredible night for a very important cause and I am delighted to have played a part in it.
"We had some of the biggest stars on the internet taking part and managed to raise a fantastic amount of money for Mind and other mental health charities. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event.”
