On behalf of Cornwall Schools FA, we had the privilege to host yet another schools tournament which took place on Friday 11th October 2019. This time it was the West Area Qualifier for the English Schools’ FA Boys 7-a-side Open competition. The ESFA Open is a national tournament with Area, County & Regional qualifiers taking place to ascertain teams that progress to the national finals.

Thank you to:
The team of Young Sports Leaders from Mounts Bay Academy (Freddie Neaum, Rhys Hall, Tyler Dayus, Jago Hills & James Swan) who worked with Ray Brown (Cornwall Schools FA Executive Officer & Referee Tutor) to officiate the tournament. Also a special mention to the staff who brought the teams to the tournament, without your dedication the students would miss out on schools football. So a huge thanks for your support and to the players.
