Fulham Match Day

Last night, rain and wind swept across the South of England causing this morning's last games for the boys teams to be messy fields and difficult windy conditions.
Benfica played a local Lancing team; playing well and coming out victorious again.

The Northshore and Northern Maine teams played hard fighting the wind.






The girls play their final games tomorrow morning but came down to the fields to cheer the boys on.


After a quick shower and change, the entire group boarded buses for a trip back into London to watch Fullham take on the Blackburn Rovers in a EFL Championship game.
The Stadium, known as Craven Cottage, is on the banks of the River Thames and is the oldest football stadium in London. It was originally a royal hunting lodge and that cottage still stands in the corner of the stadium where the owners and important Club personnel sit.





We had great seats close to the field.




The kids tried classic meat pies from the stadium vendors.



They also saw a great match with Fullham winning 2-0 fielding a team with ex Premiership player Mitrovic and current Premiership Club Brighton and Hove Albion player, on loan this season to Fullham, Anthony Knockaert.






Tomorrow the girls play their final games in the morning before the group spends the day in Portsmouth.
