150 at Old Town Boys tournament
OLD Town Youth Football Club's 25th anniversary six-a-side tournament featured 150 teams from all over Sussex.
The matches were played in a good spirit in sweltering heat at the Park College ground.
Local teams did exceptionally well and there were several all-Eastbourne finals.
Eastbourne Town beat Eastbourne Borough in both u-15 and u-16 finals while Old Town provided both finalists in the u-14 final.
Polegate Grasshoppers overcame Sovereign Saints for the u-nine title.
The organisers are grateful to all those who contributed to the success of the event. They include sponsors, advertisers, St John Ambulance, Park College, the borough council, parents and referees.
And there was an 11th hour helping hand from Paul Garnell of Sovereign Saints who answered an SOS with an emergency set of goals.
Winners were:
U-nines, Polegate Grasshoppers, u-10s, Rottingdean Village, u-11s, Old Town, u-12s, Polegate Grasshoppers; u-13s, Old Town; u-14s, Old Town; u-15s, Eastbourne Town; u-16s, Eastbourne Town.
Younger age groups each received a memento of the day.
