football and the goals scored were a pleasure to see. We had
an excellent turn out of people coming to watch, which in turn
created a great atmosphere for the players to perform in”

Steve King, winning captain for Gorleston said
“Having just recovered from last year’s tournament
we are really pleased to win this year! The concept of Masters
football is excellent and we appreciate FITC organising it.
Many of the players would like to get together more often
both to play football and socialise.”
Steve also went on to add ‘’We’re planning
an open-top bus tour round Gorleston in the next few days!!”
Ian Thornton said “The tournament
was only able to take place through the support from the Pink
Un and Evening News. Players would not only like to do next
year they would like to do it more often, so hopefully we
can respond to their request”
