27 pupils were involved in the School’s annual football development tour and for the first time we were based at Feyenoord FC in Rotterdam, Holland.

The boys took part in some excellent coaching sessions, one of which was taken by former Dutch Captain Ben Winstikers. They played matches against local side DZ Rotterdam and both year 8 and year 10 won 9-4 and 4-3 respectively.

They watched Spartan Rotterdam vs PSV Eindhoven on the Saturday night and finished the tour with a disco on the boat on the way back on Sunday.

“We had a great time, the football was fun but tough at times. I really enjoyed playing in the 6 a-side tournament” Anthony Ford, year 8.
