Darlington Spraire Lads under 16 boys represented our town in an International Football Tournament in Múlheim from 10th to 13th August. They were invited by Múlheim TUS Union 09 who had earlier in April played in Darlington. Also invited were FC Kusankoski from Finland, and Sportowy Odra and Sportowy Rodole from Opole in Poland. Múlheim's representatives were TUS Union 09, FC Rot Weiss, VfB Speldorf and MSV 07. Although the competition was won by the Polish teams who finished first and second, Spraire Lads aquitted themselves well and everyone enjoyed a fabulous weekend, with great hospitality provide by our hosts.
