Tournament History

The Tournament first took place in 2005 and was co-ordinated by the clubs Child Protection Officer (amongst many other roles), Dave Shenton.

Following on from the great success of that first year, Phil Evans, the clubs U10’s manager and Mini Soccer Co-ordinator, took over the reigns and produced a tournament that is being talked about as one of the best in the Manchester area catering for U7’s as they prepare for their first season in football and also for U8’s and U9’s at mini soccer level.

Last season’s tournament was renamed the 'Matty Dalton Tournament' in memory of our dear player and the weekend took on a whole new approach as clubs came from far and wide to help pay tribute to Matty and see the balloon release on the Sunday (see Balloon page). 2006 Also saw the launch of U10’s and U11’s at eleven as side. One of the few tournaments that cater for this type of football playing short 15 minute games encouraging attacking play with extra points for goals scored.

The tournament is fully affiliated with Manchester County, is aimed at the enjoyment of youngsters with the right blend of competitive junior football but with medals for all who take part at Mini Soccer level (see above for entry details)
