19 teams compete for medals

Another glorious day helped along with the massive support of 22 parent and player volunteers, made our annual event another major success. Corsham, Royal Wootton Bassett and Devizes joined Swindon in a battle for Gold, Silver and Bronze. Each U9, U11 and U13 team was allocated a top world ranked country linked to the Women's World Cup and players enthusiastically flew their flags. Additional medals were given for Goal of the Day, Saves of the Day and Fairplay. "It was wonderful to see so many players and their families enjoying the day. Great skills were shown in all age groups and teamwork was admirable throughout."
Swindon team results were:
U9 Silver and Bronze
U11 Gold & 6th place
U13 Silver & 5th place
