The warriors were triumphant in the Equals tournament against local rivals Stanley United.

The home side were impressive with both 5 a side teams looking dominant in play. The tournament really showed the strength and depth in the warriors side. Both the teams made it to the final but a winner could not be decided due to time constraints. Jalil Akbar picked up the player of the tournament. Hopefully we can continue this next year.

Next Gen went into the match with full of confidence after a hard fought battle against Durkar. Next Gen recalled Manny Farooq to starting line up and had Kasim Malik impressing on his debute which made up a new back 4 and keeper. Jalil in goal, Fanta, Sam, Kasim and Naz.

I know it was a bit late but Nxt Gen had their own bonfire night. Asim, Qasar and Iddy got it started with help of the rest of the boys. The lads had a great time as this was something new to them, an "organised" fire. But credit to them has they all pitched in to get equipment, dig a hole and help with the wood all with limited lighting.
