During the season the KDFL are holding a few Cup events for various divisions and on Sunday 22nd January they held a World Cup event for both the under 11’s and under 13’s.
In November the coaches of the teams pulled various countries out of a hat and they asked the players and spectators to get involved in making the morning a fun event.
They did not expect teams to go out and buy replica shirts but to make them. The teams taking part where:
Under 11

The morning was full of fun and excitement as the teams took to the pitch to take part in a league format tournament.
There were plenty of goals and sometimes some outstanding game play from both divisions. All players that took part got a medal, Gold for the overall winners and Bronze for the others.
A photo opportunity followed with a replica FA Cup. Their sponsors for the day were The Burger Babes whom provide all the refreshments for both their adult and junior sections.
