C of E’s boys’  football team got to meet Premier League stars Son Heung-min and Kevin Wimmer when they trained at Spurs’ training centre in preparation for their participation in the prestigious Premier League U11’s tournament to be held at Everton’s Goodison Park stadium on May 17th.

The two internationals took part in a Q&A session during a break in the club’s last training session before they play Newcastle United in their last game of the season.

The boys themselves will shortly be playing Newcastle in the league stage of the U11’s tournament. The team will also be pitting their skills against teams from Arsenal, Chelsea and Bournemouth in the first phase of what promises to be a memorable occasion.

Over 14,000 young people and 1,700 schools competed for a place in the final after taking part in a series of heats hosted by their local Premier League club.

Kevin and Sonny gave their top tips to the players, including the importance of resting the night before, having a nutritional pre-match meal, overcoming pre-match nerves and working as a team on the pitch.

Kevin said: “Having observed the training session I’d say there are definitely some talented players there so I hope they take on board the advice we gave them for the final. One of the most important things about football is to enjoy it and I’m sure the players will love every minute of representing the Club.”

Sonny said: “It was great to meet the children and I wish them the best of luck in the final.”

David, 11,  Chingford CofE Primary School's star striker said: “I’ve had a great day at the Tottenham Hotspur Training Centre and meeting the players. It’s inspired me to do my best in the final and I’m really looking forward to wearing the Spurs kit and playing at Goodison Park.”

Around 400 young players will represent their local Premier League club competing in U11 Mixed and U13 Girls categories.

Following the group stages, the tournament will take on a knockout format with the Premier League Schools Tournament champions being crowned and presented with a replica Premier League trophy.

All of the students participating on the day will receive an authentic Premier League experience - wearing their Premier League club kit, using the dressing rooms at Goodison Park, walking out of the tunnel to the Premier League anthem, and even having their matches refereed by Premier League match officials
