“On behalf of the lads, parents and coaching staff, thank you for making our final such a special day for us. The communication beforehand was very well put together, everything ran like clock-work and the occasion was fantastic. A big well done to yourselves and the rest of your team for delivering a brilliant day that will live long in the memory of everyone involved.  

Keep up the excellent work”

“Thank you so much for all your hard work on the National Finals and the experience that you gave our school.  

The organisation of the day was excellent. The staff could not be more helpful and everyone at Stoke City made us feel very  welcome.  Obviously we left elated because  we had won but regardless of the result, it was a special day for our school. Hopefully the next batch of footballers will be inspired by what they witnessed from the stands.”
