Villa do Welshpool proud in Denmark

Having returned from a very successful tour to Copenhagen in Denmark, Welshpool Villa’s U15 coach, Steve Leeson, said, he could not be more proud of his players’ performances in all three matches played.

They beat strong academy sides Brøndby 4-0 and KB, the youth section of FC Copenhagen, 7-0 and were unlucky to lose to Gentofte/Vangede 2-1, but playing matches in 30+ degrees heat and with three games in four days, it was an incredible effort from all of the 14 players.

Even more rewarding was the praise received from the academy coaching staffs of both Brøndby FC and KB where the club has been invited to return.

Apart from football, either side of the games, the players enjoyed swimming and diving in the new harbour pools, plus many other visits including Carlsberg, the famous food market, a canal boat tour where they saw the famous Little Mermaid Tivoli gardens.

Organisers of the tour have offered thanks to all the local businesses that made a contribution to the tour.
