U10s win Fair Play award
Our captain receives fair play award from Dave Bessant
Chepstow Garden City Under 10’s took part in their first international tournament in May, travelling to Torquay, England, to play against teams from as far afield as Nottingham, Kent and Birmingham.
15 boys and 17 loyal travelling fans made the journey. Team bonding, both players and parents, was a key part of the experience, and this was an undoubted success. Our ‘what goes on tour stays on tour’ rule means we are unable to provide any more details.
On the playing front the tournament was also a great success and we just missed out on the finals. We are blaming a manager cast in the Mourinho mould of ‘parking the bus’ when playing away in Europe. We took the largest squad of all the teams and everyone played equally, so all 15 boys can be very proud of their contribution.

Even better, we won the tournament’s prestigious ‘Fair Play’ Award, voted for by referees and officials for the team showing the best sporting attitude – a real credit to all the boys and parents. The trophy was presented by Dave Beasant, FA Cup winning goalkeeper. Garden City is proud of it’s positive football ethos, and this award is a good reflection of the approach adopted across the club.
Thanks to the club for supporting with arrangements, and helping with finance for some very smart tour training tops, thanks to parents for their support, buying the rounds and providing the cars, and thanks to the boys, who thoroughly deserved the good time they had over the weekend, and the McDonalds on Saturday
Finally, good news for Chris Coleman – the next generation of Welsh internationals will be prepared and ready for the big tournaments.
