It was organised as Friday night with the last group game and final held on the an opportunity to play competitively against some Cat 1 Saturday morning. The lads unfortunately missed out on the final opposition. but gave a very good account of themselves overall. On the first evening we drew 1:1 with Liverpool in a high quality game, we took the lead with a typical poacher’s goal from Charlie Brown but Liverpool came back strong and scored from a cross. That was followed by a nil-nil draw with Norwich, a predictably tight local derby. The next day saw us lose against a strong Brentford side but we came back well in the third place play off to beat our Norfolk rivals 2:1 with the boys showing a lot of character to see the game out, scorers: Downes from the penalty spot and Woolfenden with a header from a set piece routine.

A big thank you to Gerard Nash for doing the organising and a massive thank you to the opposition teams for making the journey down for what turned out to be a very worthwhile event.
