"We went to have fun and came home with a win" was Tyler's summary of the weekend and I couldn't put it better. Our merry band of 32 descended on Butlin's in Bognor Regis on Royal Wedding Day and three days later returned home tired, happy and with a rather large trophy. Along the way we saw and played our old friends from Bury Rangers in Hertford, made new friends in LTD Wildkats from Thurrock and closed out the tournament victory with a consummate display against Leigh Ramblers, undefeated Essex League champions who counted a sprinkling of ex-Millwall Academy players in their number.
The weekend also saw the creation of the 'Spoon Army' with their special salute and the further bonding of our wonderful players and supporters into an extended family, with the weekend climaxing on the Sunday night with our own team presentation, tour court and then the razzle-dazzle spectacular of the Tournament presentation in the company of England’s Sue Smith and Huerelho Gomes from Spurs.
Very special thanks to Jane and Michelle for helping to organise the tour, to Tracey, Karl and Mike for executing the tour court and to everyone for making it such a terrific weekend.
