Local junior football club, Foots Cray Lions, hosted one of the largest football tournaments in the country last weekend.
The tournament was the first to be held at back at the club’s ground at Cray Meaow Youth Centre, Foots Cray for more tahn 5 years.
More than 550 boys and girls from over 50 different teams competed in the two day event. As one of the largest teams in the borough, Foots Cray Lions were able to enter 12 teams of thier own and were joined by teams from as far away as Thurrock and Maidstone, as well as local teams from Bexley and South East London
All of the competitions were played in a tremendous spirit, with the FA Respect codes of conduct being well observed by players and spectators alike. There were notable wins for the home club in the Under 9 competition and for Dartford Ladies & Gravesham Ladies in the girls competitions. Buckhurst Hill were awarded with the fair play trophy in the youngest, under 6, age group.
The Club would like to thank all the parents who gave up their time to volunteer and help make the tournament such a great success.
Yours in Sport
