Launton Youth FC Tournament 2025 - What a fantastic 3 days

This year’s Launton Youth Tournament was our biggest and best yet - 215 teams came together across two weekends of football, with the tournament taking place over three action-packed days. A total of 1,720 players took part, playing 637 matches and scoring 1,045 goals across six busy pitches. In total, we witnessed over 95 hours of football - a fantastic effort from all involved. Teams travelled from far and wide: Hungerford Town made the longest trip. Closer to home, Launton Youth featured strongly, with 32 teams entered. It’s always hard to pick standout performances, but a special mention goes to the Launton Girls U8s (on the cover for this issue). Last year, as U7s, they didn’t win a single match. This year, they came back stronger and went on to win the plate final in a nail-biting penalty shoot-out - a brilliant example of perseverance and progress.

The event was kept running smoothly thanks to the hard work of 23 referees and the incredible support of 101 volunteers. With more than 1,500 cars parked over the weekend, it was a huge logistical challenge that simply couldn’t have been managed without the dedication of our volunteer team. A huge thanks to every one of them - without their commitment of time and energy, this tournament simply wouldn’t be possible. We’re incredibly grateful. Thanks also to the players, coaches, supporters and everyone who made this year’s tournament so special. Roll on next year! The Cup and Plate winners in each Group for this year are listed below.
