College Cosmos (under 9's)

The College Cosmos Under 9s have recently returned from a very successful attendance at this year’s prestigious UMBRO INTERNATIONAL CUP in Manchester. The team finished 2nd in their class in the Mini Soccer Boys League.

College Cosmos played against teams from Clackmannanshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Birmingham, Manchester and Lincolnshire. Two of the teams were youth sides for Oldham Athletic, who won the tournament and Birmingham City. Games were played at Manchester University’s Sports Fields. They won their first 2 games, lost the 3rd and drew their other 2. This meant that due to their goal average College Cosmos comfortably took 2nd place of their league.



This turned out to be the very triumphant end to what had been a very busy week of activities, which included coaching clinics with the Premier Football Coaching Academy and with Mick Bennett of Bolton Wanderers. They were also privileged to be taken on behind the scenes tours of both Bolton Wanderers – Reebok Stadium and of Manchester United's – Old Trafford. The team also played a friendly match against Wilmslow High School. The boys (and supporting parents and families) were also treated to a day out at Cadbury World.

 

College Cosmos would like to take this opportunity to thank the many sponsors that contributed to what undoubtedly will have been a memorable experience to the kids, especially Mark Salmon of FENMAR SENAS Ltd, all parents and families for their continued support and to the team coaches for the many hours of their time they give up to train the team.
