** TORNADOES ON TOUR **
We’ve got the flag, we’ve got the t-shirts, now we’re off to the south of France 🇫🇷 to represent England 🏴 in The Mediterranean Cup.
A MASSIVE thank you to everyone involved in the fundraising for this, where we’ve managed to pay for all 16 girls flights, deposits and also given them some spending money. We couldn’t have done it without your help and support!!
We will be launching next season’s new kit as well while we’re there. Kindly sponsored by Westfield Health 🙏🏻
** UPDATE FROM FRANCE **
Going into Day 2 Tornadoes are 2nd in the group after the below results!
EF Sud Seine et Marne - 2-0 Win
Stanton Ilkeston - 2-1 Win
FC Metz - 1-0 Loss
FC Gerland - 3-0 Win
One league game to play before hopefully progressing to the semi-finals!
** FINAL UPDATE FROM FRANCE **
Tornadoes won their last group game against Argenteuil FC and progressed to the semi-final!
Tornadoes then beat FCM Garges 1-0 in the semi-final and unfortunately lost to now 3x competition winners Ballyoulster AFC 1-0 in the final.
The girls did us all proud and had a fantastic tournament with memories to last a life time.
Thank you to new sponsors Westfield Health for the backing of the Tornadoes squad.
Up the Eagles!
