Millwall and Hull travelled down to make up a four-team tournament, which was played at Fulham’s training ground. All four teams gave a credible performance with some high scoring matches.

The festival was put together as a warm up for the national DSActive Football Festival in Birmingham, the event will be the first time the DS Eagles have entered a competition of its size.

We would like to thank all four teams for participating and encourage anyone with Down’s Syndrome to get in touch as we look to welcome more players.
