St. Joseph's AFC Waterford is gearing up for what promises to be one of the biggest underage football events of the summer with the Michael Grant International Memorial Tournament taking place on Saturday, July 25th.
Pierre Fetat and Billy Flynn joined Ollie and Dymphna on The Big Breakfast Blaa to chat about the incredible work going into the tournament.
Plans Across the Day for St. Joseph's AFC
It has already attracted 24 Under-10 teams. Every team will play seven games across the day, making for a remarkable 168 matches in total.
The tournament will bring together all of Waterford's major clubs alongside visitors from France, North End United (Wexford), Shamrock Rovers and more, giving local youngsters a fantastic opportunity to test themselves against teams from Ireland and beyond.
In a wonderful show of community spirit, children from every club in Waterford city will also have the chance to be part of the day.
Local Business Support
Pierre and Billy also put out a call to local businesses to get involved. Sponsoring or partnering with the tournament offers valuable local exposure while helping St. Joseph's AFC create the best possible experience for hundreds of young players and their families.
It's a chance to support grassroots football, strengthen community ties and play a part in an event that celebrates the legacy of Michael Grant through sport, friendship and opportunity.
Listen back to hear how the tournament has grown into an international showcase for young footballers and why the club is encouraging the wider business community to help make this special day one to remember.
