The lads from Recon’s football team have done it again. In addition to their recent League winners trophy, Village Manchester FC have just returned from London with more silverware.
The club competed in the 2007 London Pride 5-a-side tournament which was sponsored by car giant Ford. The competition attracted over 20 other gay football clubs from across the UK, all intent on winning the top prize which included a cash prize of £1000. The lads didn’t let us down ... after going through the tough group stages without losing a game, the knockout stages included a penalty shoot out win in the semi-final and
a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Stonewall FC in the Final.
VMFC’s captain (Recon profile ‘sj189’) said “we travelled down from Manchester without any real expectations, except having a great weekend in London of course! On the day every player was outstanding, but special praise has to be given to our top scorer Craig and our semi-final hero goalkeeper (Recon profile ‘g82’) who saved the crucial penalty”, he added “to win the competition was great news for the club and the £1000 prize money will go a long way to helping us raise much needed funds to help us travel to the Gay World Cup in Argentina this coming September”.
