Always well supported, the event brings all the players, parents, siblings and grandparents together in one day.

Combined age groups competed in mixed teams with everyone appreciating they are part of a much larger footballing family.

The combined under-nines and under-10s held their own tournament with players representing teams from different countries.

The final took place between Brazil versus Italy - Played in good spirit it was well contested early on, before team Brazil stamped their authority to claim victory as well-deserved winners.

All players received a memento to on the day to recognise their season-long efforts.

Club secretary Dave Wellbelove said: “The children really enjoyed the day, it’s great to see so many Roffey Robins players in one place at one time – it was a sea of red.

“It was good to see children enjoying the games, whether they were winning or losing and we must have been doing something good as the sun was shining.”
