In Our Opinion

The Nijmegen Easter Cup is a suitable tournament for teams requiring a competition which isn't too strong. It's also ideal for clubs who have more than one team as all pitches are on one venue. Nijmegen is a delightful city, and we expect a high level of interest for the third tournament in 2015.

What they said....

Just wanted to say thank you for organising the tour to Nijmegen. All the feedback has been amazing, a good time had by all, the U15's winning was a bonus - but nothing but praise for the accommodation, tournament, theme park and basically everything! Alison Sneddon-Coombes, Weston Crusaders.
