Jed's Xbox factor

Jed's Xbox factor

Congratulations to Jed Brennan, who was the winner of an Xbox console at our recent Esports event.

Sunderland fan Jed attended the event with his cousins as a special treat from his Auntie.

The boys agreed ahead of the competition that if they managed to win a prize they would share it – make sure you play fair, lads!

Jed travelled from Durham to pick up his reward and said he’d love to see more Esports events at the Beacon of Light in the future.
