South American outfits such as Santos and Independiente took part in the tournament, boasting back-room staff of 20 plus, compared to that of Shiners, having just Alf Fajardo the team coach. A really great effort from the small club in Wapping!

Alf maintains that, despite the great result, it is still not about the results, but getting the kids involved in a club that teaches respect and gets them on the straight and narrow.
