Paphos Warriors Spanish Tournament

The four teams played in a tournament at the Taxonera football facility on Saturday against Spanish teams. Each teams played in a league of 3. The teams all did exceptionally well with some great performances from many of the players.

Here are some action shots from the day!

Warriors Dads show the kids how to do it on the pitch!

The Dads enjoyed a friendly game against a Spanish 7 aside team. The game was a traditional Spanish tie played on a small pitch and with a futsal ball. The closely fought game was eventually won by the Spaniards 13-12 (I think!!)

A great performance by all and was excellent to see the kids show their support by invading the pitch everytime we scored!!!!

Training with Spanish coaches

The players receive coaching from Espanyol youth coaches, Marc and Marc. They were treated to the 'Spanish' way with close control and skills being learned by all the players

Warriors ladies enjoy post training pictures with the Espanyol 'pin-up' coach, Marc Ventura!!!
