Tournament organiser Nick Courtnadge said: “The tournament was a great day for Worthing FC, where the entire club pulled together to produce a fantastic day.
“It’s always an honour to have guests from overseas visit our club and enjoy their time here and it shows how well the day went that they want to come back next year.
“Each year, the day gets bigger and better and next year will be better yet, with plenty of teams planning on making a weekend of it.

“In that vein, it was great to see so many people stay in the bar afterwards, enjoying themselves. It was good to add a charity aspect into the day as well, as we were able to make a donation from the day to the Dogs Trust and the four-figure sum Worthing FC raised will go towards helping our young players.”
