Congratulations to all the 2018 Tournament Winners…from near and far…
During the weekend of 14 and 15 July 2018, over 200 football teams from across Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton, Dorset, Sussex, Wiltshire and the Isle of Wight travelled to Wicor Recreation Ground in Portchester for our biggest and best ever youth football tournament. The weather was great and a fun time was had by all ages from those playing football for the first time in the Under 7 and Under 8 groups up to Under 15s. 2018 also saw our first ever Tournament exclusively for girls’ teams, which proved to be very popular.
Our Tournament is organised into separate groups as opposed to a knockout competition, so all teams get as much playing time as possible and there is more than one winner per age group. The 2018 winners are as follows:
