“Thank you so much”

“Thank you for your work on the ESFA U16 Schools’ Cup for Girls’. Our school have had a great run and although we nearly won yesterday it wasn’t meant to be. It has been a great experience for girls and a real journey for football in our school.

Testimonial: Cedars Upper School- ESFA U16 Schools’ Cup for Girls’

We had just returned from the PlayStation Schools’ Cup Next Level Live event at the Hawthorns and would like to say a massive  thank you to all involved. The careers workshops were well led and very informative and also pitched at the right level. It was also nice to finish with the fun stuff as the pupils would say.   All in all a fantastic day. So many thanks to you and your team for making memories for all concerned (even the staff).
