Manchester Football Tour

This past weekend, a group of 46 RGS Prep pupils enjoyed an action-packed Football Tour to Manchester. The fun began with an exciting series of football matches against Cheadle Hulme, where the boys competed across five fixtures. Together, they racked up an incredible 34 goals, showcasing their passion and teamwork skills. The matches set the tone for an unforgettable weekend.

A standout moment for the pupils was a special training session led by coaches from the prestigious Manchester City Football Club. During the session, the boys had the opportunity to learn new techniques, strategies and tips from some of the best coaches in the game. The boys were thrilled to train alongside such experienced professionals, improving their skills while also having fun in a supportive environment.

Later that day, the group got the chance to witness a live Premier League match, where Manchester City took on Fulham in an intense five-goal thriller. The nail-biting game kept everyone on the edge of their seats as both teams delivered an electrifying performance. It was a memorable experience for the boys to see their football idols play up close in such an exciting contest.

The group were enthused to explored the iconic Trafford Centre, where they enjoyed a fun-filled round of mini golf. The boys enjoyed an unforgettable tour of the Etihad Stadium, the home of Manchester City, where they learned more about the club’s history and got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the facilities. The final stops on their journey included a visit to the club shop and a trip to the National Football Museum, where the boys explored the rich history and culture of football in England.

Overall, the weekend was packed with exciting activities which the boys took full advantage of. This trip has created memories that the boys will remember long after their time at RGS Prep.
