The Admirals JFC Festival of Football took place at Newbold Rugby Club on Saturday May 10th & Sunday May 11th.
The tournament proved an overwhelming success with 212 teams attending from several counties and over 1600 boys and girls enjoying a fabulous weekend of football.
Admirals would like to thank their main sponsors, Red Brick for once again supporting Admirals in their Festival and also thanks to all other companies who placed an advert in the Festival of Football programme.

The U7s and U8s tournament were non competitive but all seemed to enjoy themselves in the glorious sunshine.
Rugby Town Hawkes performed well winning all 4 of their matches as did Harborough Town Rockets.
Both Admirals U7's won 3 of their 4 matches.
In the U8's Mount Nod won their first 4 games before being held to a goal less draw by Kibworth & Smeeton Jags and the Kibworth & Smeeton Panthers were strong, notching up 4 wins and a draw from their 5 games.
Both Admirals teams battled hard to secure a couple of wins a piece.
In the U9s Cov Jag A stormed through their group winning all 4 games and this was to continue in the knock out stages when they eventually beat Cov Jag B in the final. Brinklow can consider themselves unlucky missing out on penalties in the semi final.
Hillmorton FC completed 4 straight wins in the U10s group stage before being knocked out in the quarter finals to Rugby Town Bears who went on to beat Cov Jag in the semi final and then Higham Hotshots in the final after they had beaten Northampton Soccer Starts in a closely fought semi final.
It was the Angels from Woodloes who eventually triumphed in the U11s girls. After beating Brinklow in the semi final, it took a golden goal against Ibstock Youth in the final to secure the trophy.
In the U11s Admirals Black topped their group but missed out in the dreaded penalty shoot out to Bilton Ajax in the quarter final. Bilton Ajax were then beaten by Drayton Grange Yellow in the semi finals but couldn't quite secure the cup when they lost to Cov Jag in the final.
The U12s final was an all Rugby final after Bilton Ajax had held their nerve in the semi final shoot out against Riverside United, however Ajax were to go down in the final to Rugby Town Boys after they had knocked out the Admirals Black team in the semi's.
The physical power of Yorkshire side Greenhill proved too strong for all sides in the U13's.
Greenhill A defeated Withymoor Colts in the semi final and when Greenhill B knocked out Admirals Black on penalties in the other semi final, it was the A team that held the trophy when the final whistle was blown.
Admirals U13s girls were crowned champions with a last minute final strike that could well have been the goal of the tournament.
After beating Bedworth Utd and then Alveston Tigers in the knock out stages, the wonder strike was enough to secure a 1-0 win against Marston Green in the final.
Enderby Town B notched up 4 straight wins in the group stages of the U14s and went out to beat kings Heath Concorde in the quarter final and eventually Kenilworth Wardens A in the final, this follows the Kenilworth Wardens penalty shoot out victory over Bedworth Eagles.
Kenilworth Town squeezed past Stanton Utd in the quarter final before securing a penalty shoot out semi final win over Brinklow.
But it was Rugby Town Owls that held their nerve to win on penalties in the final after defeating Brandhall Colts and then Chase Stags in the quarter and semi finals.
Another semi final was to be decided on penalties in the U16's age group when Westfield Wanderers beat Brinklow.
And it was penalties again for Westfield in the final where they eventually beat Pinley.
Admirals would like to thank Newbold Rugby Club, all of the teams that entered, all of the volunteers that gave their time and effort, the referees and all Sponsors, particularly Red Brick to help make the Admirals 2008 Festival of Football a weekend of fun, enjoyment and great memories for so many children.
