"I would like to thank every Adult that travelled with us on the trip, because without you we wouldn't have been able to make it happen, special thanks to Michelle who looked after the U14s,and was always available when called upon. I have to say that over the weekend all of the girls behaved impeccably, and were a real credit to the club. Unfortunately for the U14s the opposition wasn't quite what we were hoping for, however with the U15s, it was a real pleasure to watch two proper football matches, both really hard fought, good quality football played by all those concerned, and a real eyeopener to everyone watching,who saw just how good our U15s really are.So a message to the U14s, you know what's required for next season if we are to be successful!!
So then, rather than have me rambling on, some of the girls have taken the time to send in their thoughts on the weekend, thanks for these, and once again thanks to everyone for making it possible."

The Tour was overall brilliant & I enjoyed it so much I didn't really want it to end. The Hotel was ok & the adults with us let us have our own space& freedom& all the girls from both teams 15s & 14s got on really well. Really enjoyed Saturday Night, going out for a meal was a good crack.It was also good to know if you needed anything there was always an Adult to turn to & Michelle,Fiona & Pina were always there for us if needed. It was also great to have Nicky & Mickey there too as we could relate to them & they are so funny.It was a great experience & we really enjoyed ourselves. On the football side I think we played really well,even though the opposition were quite poor, but we played some great football & scored lots of goals & it was good to see so many of us get on the scoresheet.I think we worked really hard for each other,& tried to play the way we were coached.I think Dave's coaching really helped us too.As well as that we are challenging for trophies because we have become a very good, strong team & we all work our socks off for each other.We are all friends & really close & the team spirit is fantastic. Da Best! It's great to be part of that. Long may it continue.If you now asked me whether to go to a Centre Of Excellence or Luton, I'd pick Luton every time. I've been to 3 Centre of Excellences & I think they are overrated & just lead to dissapointment. The coaching too is just as good here, if not better & I feel I'm developing & learning more here anyway.
A Big Thank You to John (Safe) & Dave (Siiick) for arranging the trip, we all loved it. It was wicked & hope we do it again soon.

I thought Wales was really good, because it was a chance to get to know each other more. I liked how we didn't just play football all the time and how we got to do other activities like swimming. I also thought the facilities at the Hotel were good.
I liked how we were trusted- what time we went to bed and what we did when we went to the activity centre; I thought the arcade there was fun.

On the weekend we had our first experience of staying away to play football, I really enjoyed every single bit of it,from playing football to just being with my mates and having a laugh! We didn't get much sleep and didn't stay in the right rooms; however we still managed to play really good football and worked hard to beat Cardiff and Caerphilly in our matches.
So I would like to say thanks to all the team for making the trip really fun and also my Dad, Dave, Fiona, and Michelle and anyone else who helped to make it happen.

The trip was fantastic...we all bonded well from the start even with people we didn't really know before!
The fact we stayed together for two days made us have "A real team spirit"
The management had total faith in us to act as adults, this made me enjoy it even more!
We played very well, we enjoyed our time together as a squad, just one question arose.....When's the next Tour??????
Holly
I really enjoyed the weekend, because the Adults left us on our own, this was good, coz I could be myself.
I enjoyed both matches, because we could relax and play our own games.

I would love to go again.
