The U9s, U11s and U12s participated in the Falkirk Easter Cup Tournament in what was a great success story for the young Northend Boys and the U15s travelled to Preston to play in the M&L Easter Cup, in what many regard as the top youth football tournament over Easter, in the UK.

Congratulations go to Glenn Speirs U15s who have battled their way into the Final of the Preston M&L Easter Trophy, beating Elite Team Dungannon United in the semi-final.

A report on yesterday’s (Monday) final will appear next week.
