In October our U13’s hosted Siilinjarven Palloseura, or SiPS, a football club from Siilinjarvi, Finland.

On Thursday 16th SiPs trained along side our girls and then on Saturday 18th played a friendly against them at Uclan Arena. This was followed by a lunch at the Arena Café, which everyone enjoyed!

The SiPs Team then went on to watch PNE play at Deepdale.

Pekka of SiPs has sent through a link to a video of the U13’s match which can be viewed here and plenty of photo’s which, along with photo’s of our own, can be viewed in the Gallery.

Pekka has written to say “many, many thanks for you to make a perfect trip for us in Preston. We had just perfect time, excellent training sessions, warm visit to Deepdale, very good friendly with PNE, good PNE 1st team and womens team matches – just perfect. (I have to say, that I liked very much the way of play of PNE Womens Team – haven’t seen them before this)”

This was a fantastic opportunity for our girls and something we hope to build upon in the future!
