A team of talented young footballers from the Isle of Wight have triumphed at a national grassroots tournament held at St George’s Park – the home of England’s training ground.
The LJR Coaching Under-9s team took part in the All Stars Super Cup over the weekend of 16th/17th August, travelling from the Isle of Wight to compete against teams from across the country.
Coached by Ross Gregory and Wayne Upton, the 12-strong squad battled their way to victory, securing the tournament win and bringing home the silverware. Their success marks a major achievement for local grassroots football.
However, woke FA rules mean results are not published for youth football.
The team’s performance comes just weeks before they are set to represent the Isle of Wight in the Junior Premier League, with the new season beginning next month.
If their performance at the All Stars Super Cup is anything to go by, they are expected to be a team to watch.
Well done to all of them
