Day 6 - football training and retail therapy before goodbyes.

The boys' final day of training with big Kev on the indoor 3G pitch. They are all exhausted but still put in a good shift and learnt more new drills and skills to go home with. The boys are literally on the floor! The girls head to a shopping mall in Brussels for some last minute souvenirs (get ready for some nice presents) and pastries. What a bunch of big kids.... A final look down the Brambletye corridor before loading up the bus and heading back to England. Thank you for the memories, Belgium. See you all back at Brambletye at 7pm.

They fought hard and displayed superb resilience and passion and made us all very proud. The stand out players were hard to choose from amongst so many spirited performances, however Johan picked up an award for determination... ...Toby for his tireless work ethic.... ...and Jack for his battling defence. As for the 1st team, they had an incredible match that was enjoyed by all watching and even brought a tear of pride to one or two eyes... Mr Franklin! On a serious note, the boys made us all so proud as they rose above questionable refereeing decisions, two disallowed goals, and "Fergie" time to the extreme to finish 2-2 after leading 2-0.   Man of the Match went to Jake, who led the team brilliantly and refused to bring his team down to th
