A question about Boys Club football in the North East

[JJ 0]

About this time last year I went back into football coaching. I'm currently running the Peebles Under 16's side. We're thinking of going on a wee tour round about Easter time. We spoke briefly a while back about trying to go to Harlem in Holland to play in a tournament over there during the Easter weekend. In terms of fundraising and that our club is unreal in terms of making the lucre (Our boys club made £7,500 last December in one night by hosting a race night) but to raise the money to go to Holland for one team will probably be too much. I would quite like to bring them down to the North East if there's any decent tournaments in the area. They're a good side (so far this season 6 games, lost our first two 8-0 (ouch, but there's a story behind it) and 4-1. Won our last 4 games 4-0, 3-2, 9-0 and 5-1 this afternoon. I was hoping that someone could perhaps give me some info on some tournaments that take place in Newcastle for boys clubs. Preferably in April but any time should be ok.

There's a bit tournament in North Tyneside every summer, played on Monkseaton, Churchill etc. My cousin used to play for Cramlington Juniors in it. Teams from all over the world come to play in it, was in Pizza Hut last summer sat next to a bunch of annoying American kids who were playing in it.

Sounds good like. Trouble we might have is folk on holiday. Might look into it though.
