Monty in two cups

Bank Holiday weekend saw Newcastle upon
Tyne based Monty entered into two U7
Tournaments Saturday was Pin Point Junior
Cup a football festival held in Cramlington
Northumberland, after some good football
matches Monty reached the Final and won
the competition with exiting attacking

tournaments
was on us
Monty had
been invited
to play in The
Rutherford
Junior Cup U7
Tournament
held in
Gateshead Tyne & Wear weather conditions
were poor and as they played the heavens
opened but the boys continued to play their
passing game playing throughout the day
attractive football skill and talent was
shown as they once again reached The Final
and winning The Rutherford Cup.
This was the third Tournament win of the
pre-season after entering and winning The
Allied Cup held in Middlesbrough earlier in
the month they received great reviews
playing football taught to them by coach
Paul Ashcroft looking towards our League
season boys are smiling no better reward.

Sunderland
lads with
Hearts
(and feet)
of Gold
Fullwell FC from Sunderland played in
an international tournament against a
Ugandan team,
Fullwell showed that not only are they
fantastic footballers but they have
hearts of gold. Ugandans normally play
football in their bare feet and because
the boots they were wearing were
either too big or too small their little
feet were in agony. After the offer of
more boots Fullwell FC decided to take
their boots off too and play in bare feet.
Very proud moment for everyone
involved due to the level of respect and
care given.

Roe Valley U9s
This team is called Roe Valley U9's and they
are from Limavady, Co. Derry in Northern
Ireland. Myself, Ryan Mc Gonigle and
Nathan Armstrong coach these boys which
is a pleasure. This team have been together
now for nearly 3 years and they play at a
local grassroots development centre called
Nortwest & Coleraine youth league in
Coleraine. These boys are at a really high
level for their age over here in NI. This year
they have 4 tournaments called the Larne
Sevens, Colin Valley and Jigsaw Five Project
and last but not least the Foyle Cup only last
week. If you look up the Foyle Cup you will
see how big this tournament is in the whole
of Ireland with teams coming from all over

the UK. These boys never miss a training
session, work really hard for each other and
they are a credit to their parents as they are
so well mannered with no ego's. They are
developing so well listening taking things
on board and also have the determination
to do well. Myself I think you could be
hearing a few of these boys names in the
future but the main thing now is to let them
play with a smile on their face and enjoy
having the ball at their feet before the so
called big guns start adding the pressures to
this world-wide sport we all love.
