15th December 2005 saw the first Sweetpatch FIFA 06 Offline Tournament at a very noisy Wadebridge Town football club in Cornwall. The evening was a Christmas party for the Under 7's and 8's teams and as part of that we laid on our very first offline FIFA 06 tournament, (and what a cracker it was too!)

16 boys played in a knock out style tournament with everyone playing as England (apart from the final where both lads agreed to play as Brazil). It was 2 hours solid of great enthusiasm and noisy support from all the boys and their parents.

By the time we reached the final the 2 best players of the evening met (Elliott Dunnett and Harry Webster) with the winner (Harry) certainly deserving to take home the coveted Sweetpatch FIFA 06 World Cup with him, winning the final 4v2. Harry played very well in all his matches and has a lovely lob over the advancing keeper as his party piece for scoring most of his break away goals.

Well played boys and we certainly all had a very successful evening and the concept of Sweetpatch Offline Tournaments is certainly born and more than kicking.
