ROVERS’ juniors did themselves proud at the recent Sussex Cup.

A large contingent of 186 people from the Port Soif club went to Selsey for the tournament with eight teams consisting of 97 players competing in under-eight, U-9, U-10, U-11 and U-12 competitions.

Geomarine supported the trip. ‘[It was the] third trip that we have organised and definitely the biggest and best so far,’ said trip organiser Jez Robin.

‘All the Rovers coaches were very proud of their players as they were a credit to Guernsey in respect of their behaviour, attitude and determination to succeed. [It was a] very good standard of opposition and an excellent opportunity for the lads to test themselves against different and stronger opposition.’

A total of 37 teams took part in the tournament. Rover’s biggest success story were their U-10 A team which won their age group.
