April 2007 – U7s Mitre Tournament

 

 

 

 

Having trained for most of the season indoors at the Manningtree Sports Centre, focusing on the development of football skills, it was lovely in April to venture outdoors again to School Lane.

 

At that point the U7's started to play in matches, the first of which was against the Club's good friends at Gt Bentley. This was shortly followed by 2x R&T Mitre Cup Tournaments, which involved playing teams from all over the country and it was a real experience, not least being presented participation trophies by Clive Allen and Tony Cottee.

 

To see the players in the first game, compared to the progress they had made by the last was tremendous. Parents/Guardians will be amazed to see how quickly they will continue to develop as a team from this point.

Keep in mind their first games!

 

Well done to all the players, not only for the matches played in, but all the hard work put in throughout the 2007/8 season. Looking forward to seeing this team grow next season in the Colchester and District Youth Football League, and for many seasons to come. 

 

Special Thanks to James and Ben and their helpers Stewart, Ryan and Danny - you've all be fantastic. Thanks to all the parents for their continued support and especially by allowing their child and the team to play without pressure. Being a football parent is a bigger responsibility than you may realise!
