Aberdeen and Dunfermline. From the e-mail I got, I believe it's a week long under 12's and 14's academy football festival. So should be a decent standard of games to get me going again

if the Under 12 game is full 11 aside pitch it will be their first time playing it - till the end of the season there, they only play part pitch but with 11aside rules. a lot of the pro youth teams are of excellent standard. enjoy

Thanks Micky, tomorrow signifies another step up in intensity of fitness work so should be in good shape by the start of August.

Sounds like it will be a great event - one thing I will say, though, is that I can almost guarantee that Bristol Rovers will get pooped on by a lot of those teams!
