Another
bumper entry for our tournament saw 86 teams provide yet another spectacular
day of football.
Harrogate striker Martin Hawthorn opened the proceedings by reciting
the Special Olympics Oath, with Jayne Atherton (referee) and Matt
Hunt (Harrogate) reciting the officials and coaches oath respectiveley.
The event comprised of 16 groups of teams with each group battling
it out for Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. The competition was mainly
for adult teams but this year two groups were reserved for a Junior
section.
Over
600 footballers from across England, Scotland and the Channel islands
took part.
Over
50 volunteers, helpers and referees turned out to help on the day.
A big thank you goes out them beacuse without all their hard work
the tournaments just would not be possible.
