OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT PROGRAMME

Tournament programme

 

We have travelled over with a very young squad and produced some great football. All of our players are 16 or 17 years of age and have coped magnificently with two demanding games a day. We are the youngest team in the tournament, while a lot of the other clubs are here with players who have already played in their first teams and are very highly rated."
