Albert Dix Tournament 2017

Swindon Village played in the Albert Dix Football Tournament on Friday 13th October at Charlton Kings.

Our performance was very good.  In the first match versus Springbank, we won 1-0 with Rueben scoring a terrific free kick.  The second match was a very close contest versus Charlton Kings.  With the score 2-0 in Charlton Kings' favour, at half time,Swindon Village showed resilience and great team work in the second half to get back to 2-1 through a great shot from Riley.  Even though the game ended 2-1 to Charlton Kings, you could not fault our effort.  The final match was versus Bishops Cleeve.  Once again the team showed a determined spirit and great endeavour before losing out to a strong, technical team 5-0, which meant unfortunately we were knocked out.

This was a great experience for our team.  A big thanks to the parents for your support which made it a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.  The players were a credit to the school and showed desire and commitment which bodes well for future matches.
