Building on the success of last years trial of the "Pre Season Tournament", this year we decided to really go for it. Over 400 children took part competing for the coveted "Killinghall Nomads" Trophy's. League teams and development teams all played some fantastic football and really enjoyed themselves..... Below are some comments we have received from competing teams..... Watch out for photos coming soon!

"Thanks for today.........I thought it was played in the right spirit, there was some good football from a number of the teams and it certainly gave our teams a good run out prior to the season starting next week. Regards, Tim Capstick" (Wigton Moor U11)

"Thanks very much to yourselves for organising today. Thought it worked really well in terms of timing, quality of teams, facilities etc. Obviously slightly biased as we sneaked home in the final (!) with 4-3 over Leeds Macaabi, but would have been a good day whatever the outcome. Kind Regards, Jason" (Ilkley U11 Development)

  "Thanks for a great day......................I think that being a well run and organised event helps all the coaches and parents concentrate on what matters, the players enjoyment, without worrying about events off the field.  Hope you didn't get to wet in the afternoon! Once again Thank you" (Wetherby Athletic U9)

"Well done and thanks for yesterday, it was well organised and great fun. Hope you have a good season". (Leeds Maccabi U11)

"Hi Tim, I didn't manage to bump into you yesterday to say hello, but I heard you were busy! I just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed ourselves yesterday, despite the rain, and to thank you for another well organised pre-season tournament. I'll see you early December. Cheers Louise" (Knaresborough Celtic U11 Development)

"Hi Tim, Thanks for a great day yesterday, the kids really enjoyed it and everything seem to run really smoothly. Much appreciated and again thanks for a great day, Ray Green Harrogate Railway U9's"

  "Tim - just a quick note to you and your volunteers to say thanks for the well organised tournament today - we know how much work goes into these things. Thanks again, Mike Wilson and the other Wetherby U11 coaches".

This really took some organising even though it was just the U8,9,10 & 11's in the end..... so a massive thank you to those Mums, Dads, Managers and Coaches who put their time, effort and and hard work into making this happen.... you know who you are....and especially TIM for coordinating and pulling it all together. Lets see if we can make it even bigger and better next year guys!
