WHAT A WEEKEND AT THE SCORCHERS!!!!

What a wekend!! If coaching and playing matches wasn't enough then our goalkeepers got a fantastic extra treat as they received top class coaching from England International Keeper Leanne Hall. Leanne gave a master class in goalkeeping and kept the children entertained too! Meanwhile just across the pitch a couple of the girls squads got a chance to play against England U20 player Sophie Walton (our Leeds Ladies community player). The session finished with a penalty shoot out and a round of applause and thanks to our guests.

Then for the Scorchers it was an early start on Sunday and a trip to Anfield the home of Liverpool football club, after a tour of the ground, visit to the shop, museum and sit in the kop and the managers dug out it was on to the seasside. The sun shone and everyone had a memorable day. A massive thanks to Eddie Brown coaches and Wayne who arranged the trip.
