Rovers enjoy Upton Park
6:38am Thursday 5th June 2008
Stanway Villa's under-11s - managed by Simon Oliver - enjoyed another very successful season (their first at 11-a-side).
They finished as runners up in the A League of the Colchester and District League.
They also took part in the George Parris tournament at Upton Park, the home of West Ham United.
Two teams were entered in the seven-a-side competition against teams from all over the country.
After a league competition, both teams secured places in the semi-finals - one in the trophy competition and the other in the plate event.
Both teams went on to win their respective finals, after a very enjoyable and exciting day.
