Despite high winds and the occasional shower, the event turned out to be another hugely successful 5-a-side tournament.
We accommodated more teams than we have ever done before in the one-day format. The day ran like clockwork with all competitions running to schedule.
97 teams entered across 8 age groups and here are some of the key numbers:-

Next season's Under 11's (current school year 5) need a few more players, especially defenders, to strengthen their squad for the 2010/11 season. The current team finished 4th, 2nd and 3rd in their three seasons at mini soccer. Training is held at Thurstable school on the astro turf during the season on a Saturday morning and led by a FA Level 1 qualified coach.
