During a recent trip with George Cowie Football, our director Jason Buchanan visited the home of West Ham United Academy in London.

" This academy is as good as it gets with programs in place from 9 to 18 years old. The level of facilities, professionalism, coaching and organisation was different class and I'm sure the young players on GCF Tour had a wonderful experience. It is no coincidence that West Ham Academy just last week defeated Arsenal in the FA Youth Cup"

American utility player Kelby Phillips continues to impress at QLD Giants, Brisbane Strikers FC. Now working under new manager Jade North, Phillip again showed his eye for goal with an excellent taken goal against SW Thunder in last nights FQPL game.
