U12s Football Tournament 2025
Annual U12s Football Tournament at UCLAN 15th May 2025
Wow what a great day! The weather was super, sun and blue skies, and if anything a bit too warm and the 36 teams of youngsters from local schools provided a really entertaining day.
The tournament now a annual event hosted by Preston South Rotary, this year held separate competitions for boys and girls teams. The teams played in leagues in a round-robin format with winners and runners-up progressing to knock out stages of quarter,semi and final games. The eventual boys winners were Bishop Rawstorne and the runners-up Walton-le-Dale. The girls winners were Cardinal Allen and the runners-up Our Lady's Fulwood. The winners received £200 and runners-up £100 for school funds.
The trophies, medals and winner's cheques were presented by Rotarian Kath Brownlow from Rotary District 1190. It was unanimous that it had been a very well organised event, with entertaining football played in the right spirit and an anticipation of a similar tournament next year. Preston South Rotarian Geoff Todhunter expressed the Club's thanks for the contiuing financial support from District 1190 and other Rotary Clubs and echoed the appreciation to those that came along on the day to help with the organisation and those who came to support the teams.
