THE opening evening of the Redlands FC Indoor Football Tournament was a fantastic success as around 40 children aged between five to seven-years-old, who were new to football, took part.
Sponsored by Advoco and McDonald’s, the session was the first of 10 consecutive weeks aimed at increasing participation in football.
All the children were put into teams representing Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham and they each played five matches on the night.
The action was fast and furious and some of the football played was inspiring as parents lined the walls at Redlands Commun- ity Sports Hub encouraging and supporting their children.
The tournament will culminate in a grand final on the 10th week of the event.
