After a great performance in the group stage, the girls did not progress any further into the tournament, however they represented the Foundation brilliantly from start to finish, with the hosts finishing victorious as they celebrated a penalty shoot-out win over Southampton.

​Other clubs also attending on the day to take part in what turned out to be an amazing event included Reading, Wycombe, Portsmouth and Bournemouth and a great time was had by all.

​We were very fortunate to have a special visitor from first–team star Madison Haley, who came to watch the tournament and answer any questions the girls had – they also had the chance to see the Premier League trophy.

​We would like to extend our thanks to the Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation for a great day, and Maidenbower school for all their commitment to the Premier League Primary Stars programme and the Foundation.

​The Foundation offers this excellent Premier League programme in Crawley Schools which uses the League's brand to inspire children to get engaged with education and sport.
