This year was
the Club's 20th two day tournament which was marked with more entries than
ever before, making it arguably the regions largest pre-season
tournament. 135 teams took part with Club's represented from as far a field
as Stevenage Town, Maldon, Colchester, Ipswich, Norwich and Wisbech who challenged the numerous local teams to pick up those prestigious
trophies.
 As
well as the opportunity to watch the potential stars of the future, there
were a number of off field activities including Bouncy Castles, cross bar
challenge and a 'kick for goal' challenge with opportunities to win cash
prizes.
Coaches from the brand new
F.A. skills initiative sponsored by Tesco
were also on hand to put some of the youngsters through their paces.
A number of trade stands were also in evidence with a selection of cars from local dealer
Simpsons (Skoda)
to look around,

Absolute Clothing, take a look at a selection of sportswear from
R.D. Sports
