it is a
great day that takes advantage of all of our stunning facilities
including our new 3G playing surface.

Our tournaments are set up so every team regardless of ability can
compete for a trophy and a sportswear voucher

The kids get to experience the thrill of walking out of the tunnel at a
proper stadium and onto the pitch, they'll even be able to experience
walking up the steps and down the other side to receive their trophies
and medals afterwards.
