After four days away at Edinburgh University and Heriot Watt University the England Men's Football squad came away Champions of the 2008 Tournament. The four days was a hugely different experience for most of the players having not been in a tournament environment before this. Their attention to detail both on and off the pitch was crucial in seeing us through two difficult games.
The first game was against Wales who put up a stubborn defensive display to earn a 0-0 draw in a game that the lads did not fulfil their potential. With Scotland having beaten Wales in the first game we knew that we had to beat them to win the tournament. In a very pleasing first half performance we dominated play but just could not apply the finish. The second half was muct the same, it took a pass from Bradley Pritchard to find Exodus Geohaghan (Wolverhampton) to win the game for England 1-0.
