From Josh Mendelsohn:
On Saturday 8th July the Max O’Connell Cup will be played at Westway Sports Centre between 1 and 7 pm.
Note the new time - one hour later.
The tournament will be played between 5 teams who either played with or played against Max over the years, either in Queen’s Park or at school, etc. Each team will play 4 games each, with the top two teams going through to a final. The winners will be awarded the Max O’Connell Cup and have their team name engraved on the trophy. There will also be additional prizes and a 'Max of the Day' award for the player of the tournament.
We are hoping that the tournament will become an annual event to honour Max’s footballing memory, so please make sure you’re there to support your team and the event. The tournament takes place a day before England feature in the World Cup Final so everyone should be suitably in the mood to enjoy the football on show. Come along and bring the noise!
The five teams that will feature are listed below:
Magnum Force Six
The Bearded Monkeys
North Pad Old Boys
Dave Stars
Team 5 (Team Name TBC)
If anyone would like to contribute to the event in anyway please feel free to email or call myself or Louis. All contributions would be greatly appreciated.

Please see below for a link to Westway Sports Centre and how to get there. Please note that the tournament will be played on the Astro-turfed 6 a-side pitch and NOT the concrete pitches which are located elsewhere. As it's an Astro-turf pitch, moulds or trainers are fine but studs are not permitted.

Boys i'm so annoyed that i obviously can't make it. I'm glad you have got it together though and we will definitley have to make it an annual thing.
I hope you all play like champions in the true spirit of Max.
If someone can take some pics and post them, or even a video that would be sick. Good luck. All the best.
