Members of our 2014 age group competed in a tournament in the Netherlands this past weekend, proving to be a valuable developmental experience.
The side were drawn in a group to face hosts SO Soest, Royal Antwerp and FC Utrecht, three competitive outfits with varying styles.
Victories were gained in the opening two matches against Royal Antwerp and SO Soest, securing the Bluebirds’ place in the knockout stages. The final group match against FC Utrecht ended in a defeat.
AZ Alkmaar were the opponents in the quarter-final, with City bowing out of the competition in the last eight stage.
Producing impressive performances, the experience of competitive football in a tournament environment will be one to build on as the squad continue their journeys in the Academy.
