Tournament Review

What an incredible two days at A&P Park for the 2026 Matt Neal Memorial Tournament!

Eighteen teams came together for a weekend of football, friendship and competition, celebrating the game they love while honouring the memory of Matt Neal.

A particularly moving moment came at the opening of the tournament, as all teams, players and supporters gathered for a minute of silence. A powerful tribute and a special reminder of why we come together each year – to remember Matt and celebrate the love of football that brings us all together.

Thank you to everyone who made the 2026 tournament so special. The support, spirit, and camaraderie across the weekend were a wonderful reflection of what this tournament represents.

Be part of it in 2027!
