Hundreds of school kids take part in football festival

Hundreds of enthusiastic young footballers took to the pitch for an annual summer football tournament.

Held by Nunnery Wood Colts Football Club, who hosted the tournament for the 20th time, the two-day event featured 117 teams ranging from Under-7s to Under-14s.

Youngsters competed across 386 games during the tournament, which took place on the weekend of June 1 and 2, with Worcestershire teams enjoying a whole host of success over the two days.

Nunnery Wood Colts chairman, Darren Mace, said: “Once again we have exceeded our expectations in terms of the quantity and quality of football being played.

"We would like to thank all the committee members, managers and parents from the club for their help before and during the tournament, with planning starting in January.

"Thanks to Blessed Edward Oldcorne College and the University of Worcester for the continued support and use of their facilities, which are now the home ground for our Nunnery Wood Colts teams."
