85 hours later, and after more than 1000 miles, we arrived home to Frys and torrential rain. the players were in good form and we were all happy to be finally home. Big thanks must go to...
Roger, our driver who took us all the way and came to the games to watch and support us.
Rob, official linesman for the Tour who thanks to the efforts of the team had very little to do!
Julie, official photographer on the Tour, and thanks to her we will have great memories.
Geraint, official videographer on Tour, thanks to whom we will be able to watch back great games.
Jon, the organiser of the Tour without whom this Tour would not have been possible.
The parents, supported the players completely throughout the Tour.
The players, a credit to themselves, their parents and our Club.
Dave, our Tour Sponsor who eight years ago promised that my dream of a foreign Tour WOULD become reality.
Finally, despite the bitter taste left by the disgraceful display of that Dutch team, it will live happily in my memory as a fantastic experience. Thank you all! Andy

Kung Fu Panda
Just left Clackett Services. The last photo has just been taken of the team in their nickname shirts, although the Kung Fu Panda was conspicuous by his absence!

Had a fab weekend with our boys and families, thanks to Jon for the organisation and hard work he has put in. Oh and Dave thanks for paying for our meal on the last night. And we were really impressed with how Kung Foo Panda (Bear) looked after our boys, cleaned up all the sick and kept his room spotless. Oh and Jon, after you finished cleaning Dave's room can you come and clean ours! Great football shame it kicked off in the end. You should all be proud of yourselves thanks to Andy and Tony too X from the bitches lol MILFS ROCK!!

Getting Closer To England
You can tell we are nearing Calais with all of the lorries on the road, and also nearing sunny England, it's raining!
Bryn's 1st Post
Me and my dad got given an inflatable sheep by Sam and Dave. On the last night Tom was sick in Dave and the two Sam's chalet. We put logs in the road and pushed some boats out into a lake, and Tom tried to runooff with some bloke's bike. It was great though.
Lore's 1st Post
Tom face planted a bike tyre and nearly popped it with his nips! George got on some girls from Leeds. Noah tried gettin on some pum..... but failed;)!
Max's 1st Post
Tour was really great especially watching Dave wrecked and whipping Noah with the belt.
The morning after the night before again!
The morning after was even worse second time around! Outside of my lodge were between 40 and 50 bottles, and a lot of players look very sheepish, white and hungover!
Joel's 1st Post
Sam and Bryn pushed the boats out into the lake and got chased by the security guards and Lore's mum is a milf.
Noah's 1st post
After getting cheated out of the tournament we went out and got very drunk. George got on two girls and I ended up sleeping in Ben and Del's cabin because George stole my girls.
Tony's Post
I always believe that pride, passion and belief will win through, but in the end unfortunately one team had a different idea and allowed their opposition to score 14 goals to stop us making the final. We were the best team. Well done.
Day 2 - Game 5
Game 2 was against a Dutch team called Voorschoten'97. We expected a tough game as they had hammered their first group and had already won 2-0 today, however we were disappointed in them as Aaron rolling towards goal, and George with a penalty saw us win 2-0.
Facilities
I have to comment at this point on the facilities. In all honesty they put our junior grounds to shame with perfect flat surfaces, changing rooms for all and a welcoming Clubhouse. First yesterday at Beugen, the home of Vios '38, and today at Mill with its lovely little stadium, it has all been most impressive.
Day 2 - Game 4
This promised to be a lot harder than yesterday as we faced just group winners. First up were Husum BK from Denmark and despite Harry having nothing to do and Bryn heading just wide, followed by Lorenzo flicking the ball just wide, and finally Aaron fizzing a 30 yard shot inches wide, we were unable to score, the match ending 0-0
Wakey-wakey
The start of day 2 is here! With the amount of alcohol drunk, and the late night the we experienced, it's no wonder there were so many bleary-eyed people wondering around with pounding heads. And that was just the players!
2nd Night.
10-30 on the evening of the second day. All of the parents are in the Centerparc's bar having a great time and the boys are out drinking and on the pull! Good times!
Ben's 1st Post
After a long day playing football, we went for a relaxing swim with Lorenzo's sexy mum in her swimming costume and swam under water with her, but unfortunately I forgot my goggles ;)
Day 1 - Game 3
Our final group game and it was going to be the group decider! both teams had 100% records, but we had the better goal difference. we weren't going to rely on that though and went for it against Kvistgard IF. In the end it was a single goal from Lore which settled it and with Bryn Man of the Match, we were through to day two, now one of just eight teams capable of winning the tournament.
Day 1 - Game 2
We played vv Sliedrecht in the second game and a goal from Lore, followed by a penalty from Tom which Lore had won, which gave us a 2-0 win! Lore was Man of the Match.
Day 1 - Game 1
Game against Vios '38. Goals from Lorenzo, Callum, Sam K, Del and Max saw us 5-0 winners in the rain. A great start to the day.
The Long Day Closes - Day 1
The players have turned in for the night, as have most of the parents, so at 1.00am local time, we say goodnight to a fun but tiring first day.
Delays...
Almost there!!
Two weeks to go, and everyone is getting excited about the Tour. This will be the official post point for the players.
Callum's 1st Post
Bryns dad walked around like a pigeon drinking coffee for 20 minutes!! and had a chat with lorenzos mum in the burger king line! good start!
Del's 1st Post
Hey mum I need more money!! Am slaughtered out my face,playin wid a fat hangover(all of us) we won!!ben watts pulling lorenzo mum! Dave is teaching max stevens while lorenzo and callum fingering their donkeys,
Day 2 - Game 6
Our final game was against Islev BK, a
Danish team. We topped the group on goal difference and so knew that all we had
to do was win, and match the goals scored on the other pitch. We did our bit as
Lore got 5, Callum 2 and Ben and Sam K with one each. Unfortunately on the other
pitch I saw the most disgraceful performance that I have ever witnessed on a
football pitch as Voorschoten rolled over and at times quite literally laid down
in front of Husum and let them score 14 goals! We will be writing to the Dutch
club, the tournament organisers and the Dutch FA, however third place is a
bitter pill when you are cheated out of a place in a final.
George's 1st Post
Bryn enjoyed the blow up sheep...... again !!!! Also tom was sick over his fat nipples!
