Real welcomes Monmouth for trip of a lifetime

April 29, 2017

Over the Easter holiday sixteen boys had the opportunity of a lifetime to go on a football tour to Madrid and experience life as a professional footballer whilst staying at the Spanish FA. The week-long tour involved intensive daily sessions with Real Madrid coach Ignacio at their state-ofthe- art facilities in Valdebebas.

The team, a mix of 16 and 17 year old boys, played two evening matches against local opposition, recording impressive 3-1 and 1-0 victories.

All the squad made real progress during the week in terms of their technical ability and overall fitness and the advice they received will prove invaluable going forward into next season.

The ‘Real’ Experience will remain in the memory forever.
