REPORT:
Rimini Cup 2001 - Germany
(14 - 15 July 2001)
We agreed to send an Under-14 side to complete in the Rimini Cup in Germany even though it was an Under-15 and Under-16 competition. That age group was playing in the Nike Global Cup being held in Berlin at the same time. Considering our Under-14s were playing against teams a year or two older than themselves, they gave a good account and were a credit to the Hammers. Matthew won the Goalkeeper of the Tournament Award.

UNICEF International Tournament - Gavardo, Italy
(29 - 31 March 2002)
A combined Youth Academy Under-12s and 13s squad, came a highly commendable third in an international UNICEF tournament, held in Gavardo, near Verona in Italy over Easter. Among the clubs taking part were Liverpool, Bayern Munich 1860 (Germany), RWD Moolenbeek (Belgium), Brescia, Vicenza, Inter Milan and Parma (all Italy).
The boys brought home a magnificent trophy, in fact one that was bigger than some of them! "It had a seat on the plane all to itself," joked Academy Administrator Trevor Lewin, who took charge of the party that included coaches Brian Nichols, Jimmy Frith and physio Ross Poyton.
Back row: Joe Widdowson, Alfie Harris, Ashley Miller, Jamie Salmon, Ben Hunt, Lee Hales, Gary Bowes, Ross Faulds, Marvin Ledgister, Sam Long
