First England fixture is a win against the RAF

On Monday 18 of the squad of 28 meet to play the RAF. The day was very successful and the players did the system proud. Goals from Michael Symons (UWE Hartpury), Andy Rushbury (Nottingham Trent), Ashley Allanson (Hull) and Will Morford (UWE Hartpury) ensured a 4-2 victory.

The next step now is the selection of 18 players to go to the British University Games in Scotland in April.

Regional programme

The game scheduled to be played on Wednesday the 13th February between Northern Universities and British Colleges feel foul to the weather. We hope to resurrect a game for those lads in the very near future. On the 13th a joint team from the Midlands and Southern Universities played British Police at Nuneaton Borough. The lads played well against a very competitive Police side narrowly loosing 2-1. I would like to thank Tom Curtis for working so hard to making the game possible. To Idafe Perez, Dave Thorpe and Lauren Bradshaw for again making the product on the day very professional.

Another HE student joins the professional game

Liverpool Hope student Peter Vincenti signed full time terms for Millwall in the Summer of 2007. Peter is now full time with Stevenage Borough in the Football Conference. Peter joins the ever growing list over the past two years of students going into the full time game.
