Fleetwood Town Community Sports College held a successful 5-a-side tournament for year 10s and 11s in the local area on Wednesday.
The round-robin style tournament, which was held at Poolfoot Farm, saw six teams and over 50 high school students head down to Fleetwood Town’s training complex to take part and have a day of fun, and potential prizes.
The tournament took place between 1pm and 4pm, and showcased a lot of footballing talent. The winners on the day were ‘Egg Fried Reus’, with runners-up ‘Lads on Toure’ following close behind.
Overall, it was a good day for everyone involved and hopefully showed the local community what can be done at the Community Sports College.
