Welcome to Costessey Sports

It’s a great pleasure to welcome everyone to our annual tournament after the great success of last year’s event. Last year was the final tournament for our former chairman, Martin Matthews, his wife and former secretary Deborah Matthews, our former treasurer Alastair Kerridge and his wife Emily and former fundraiser Ian Dickinson and his wife Tara. They have all been integral to growing both the tournament and the club to what they are today and will be missed on the BBQ, fruit & ice cream stand & PA. I would like to thank them for all their work for the club and they will be sorely missed.

Summer tournaments are such valuable experiences for young footballers. As well as the numerous footballing benefits to playing small sided games, the opportunity to spend time with your team, have some fun and get to know each other a little better, really helps with team bonding and creates some great memories.

We’ve had another very successful season on and off the pitch. We’ve worked with our youth leagues to try and improve behaviour with our respect your roots campaingn. Several of our teams have had excellent seasons, winning leagues, cups, reaching finals and semi-finals. These are great achievements for the players and coaches but wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and dedication of our committee.

On behalf of the club, I would like to thank all our sponsors & advertisers for their support, the referees and volunteers for their time and Costessey Town Council (in particular Barry, Steve & Debbie) for the amazing pitches and facilities which all help to make this a successful event.

I hope you all have a fantastic time at the tournament and the weather is kind to us. If you have any questions about the event o the club, please speak to any of the committee members.

Good luck and thank you for taking part.
