Meadow Park FC Under 10's became Champions of the Alcester Football Tournament over the weekend. Based upon the UEFA Euro 2008 Tournament - each team were drawn teams & Meadow Park was drawn out as Spain. All 6 teams played in 1 league and it was the top 2 who ventured into the Final. Meadow Park played 5 games and needed to win their last game to stick a chance. Bromsgrove Town (drawn England) won all 5 games to top the league but if Alcester coud'nt get 3 points from their last game & Meadows won - it would be Meadow Park v Bromsgrove Town.

Although Bromsgrove gave everything they had Meadow Park held out and won the Tournament.Read
