The September 15s + 13s tour successfully finished yesterday, with the players gaining an opportunity to learn from serie A qualified coaches, and to play against Italy's top youth teams, such as Genoa, Juventus, Torino, Monza, Valenzana, San Remo, and Albenga. Players also saw AC Milan play a champions league game, and were special guests in Monte Carlo to watch Monaco v St Etiene, and finally Sampdoria v Parma.

Morris comments: "Records were broken this tour for results and winning certain games by both groups. I want to congratulate the players on making this tour very successful, and showing the Italian clubs that we are on the right track, and for attracting the interest in GISS from those clubs. Well done to all players; hopefully now you can take this experience back with you, and work even harder now that you have seen real competition." (More images >>)
