The U8 tournament, also featuring U7 sides, attracted 16 teams from Allendale, Hexham, Corbridge United, Prudhoe Youth Club, Stocksfield, Haydon Bridge United, Kingston Park and Throckley Magpies. The latter were celebrating silverware with their Real said defeating Hexham Eagles for the Shield after both groups were very tight.
