Luis Longstaff, a year 9 student
at Greenfield Community College recently won the annual U15 Tournoi
International Neuville sur Saone playing for Newcastle United Football Club.
The competition was played in the South East of France, just north of Lyon over
the course of the recent half-term holidays. This fantastic feat was made more
amazing by the fact Luis was playing a year up. The U15 side played four games
during the group stages, where they beat FC Bourg 2-1, Olympique Marseille 1-0,
CS Neuvillois 3-0 with Luis getting a goal and also drawing 1-1 to Evian
Thonon. Having remained unbeaten throughout all their games they gained entry
to the quarter-finals where they beat Guimaraes 1-0 and then beat Olympique
Lyonnais the same score in the semi-final. In the final, they won 1-0 with Luis
the match winner with a close range finish. A massive well done to Luis for the
tournament win and good luck for next season as you enjoy your well-deserved off-season
rest. Keep up the hard work!
