MOND Rangers' junior team, under the control of manager Gordon Thomsett, have continued where they left off last season.
In 2002-03, they won the Warrington U12s League without losing a single game and also landed the Runcorn and District FA's U12 Junior Cup.
During the summer they have successfully competed in a number of tournaments, starting on a club tour to Bognor Regis.
They won the group stage, then beat Bognor Town in the quarter-finals but lost to Enfield in the semis.
In early July, they travelled to Manchester to compete in a tournament for the fifth year running.
Previous years had seen the team being finalists but this year, they deservedly won the competition by defeating Cadishead in the final.
In early August, the team, having drawn at Everton against the Blues' Academy team, took up an invitation from the club to compete in the Liverpool International Invitation Tournament at Liverpool University.
The tournament has been running for eight years and now involves 15 nations. These include China, Norway, Romania, France, Germany, Gibraltar and USA, as well as the home countries.
Mond were undefeated in the group stage and then beat Stangeld (Germany) in the semi-final.
Manager Gordon Thomsett was delighted at the progress his team made but a little disappointed when losing the final 2-0 against Dijon (France).
Under international rules, as a visiting nation, the French were allowed to play five overage players.
They had averaged five goals a game in the tournament and came to Liverpool from their club tour in Russia where they won the Russian Cup, defeating Dynamo Kiev and Auxerre. Mond forward Mark Dundon received the golden boot as the tournament's top scorer with 10 goals in four games.
Mark missed the finals due to his family holiday.
