Boldmere Falcons S&S Under 8's travelled nearly 230 miles to take part in the Looe Bay Football tournament over the May Bank holiday and were rewarded as they finished runners up in an 8 team group.
The tournament was attended by teams from all over the UK and was a great way for the Boldmere players to celebrate at the end of their League winning season.
Matches took place over 2 days amidst the beautiful Cornwall scenery with Boldmere's record of 3 wins, 3 draws and only 1 defeat by a solitary goal to eventual group winners Stoke Damarell B, enough to give them the runners up spot.
The players attended a truly spectacular Presentation on the Sunday evening and were each presented with a superb trophy from former Welsh International and Everton goalkeeper Neville Southall.
The Under 8's were accompanied on the tour by 2 more Boldmere teams who were a credit to Sutton Coldfield and their club with the Under 11's also runner's up and the Under 7's awarded the Most Sporting Team in their respective age groups.
The coaches, players and parents would like to thank their sponsors Toyota World and Sutton Coldfield Municipal Charities for the funding that allowed the team to enter this prestigious end of season tournament.
