In
May 2005 - the newly formed Arsenal Gloster FC performed in a
5-a-side football tournament on the pitch @ Highbury. It has to
be said that this was 3 days after the 7-0 wonder demolition of
Everton, so consequently, it felt completely surreal being on
the pitch. Our team got off to a bit of a slow start but got stronger
as the tournament progressed and our players really found their
feet. We were only very narrowly beaten by the eventual winners
- Arsenal East Sussex, so it has to be said, we actually did very
well. More importantly, we took a full coach down from our club
and a great time was had by all. We finished 3rd in the group
and the results were as follows:-
