This morning Ray received an email from Haydn Evans-Wood the National Competitions Coordinator. He wrote:

Good Morning, East Cornwall

I am getting in touch to report some positive feedback that, in having worked with this District, I can only agree with.

It was reported over the weekend that everyone in all of your teams have acted with the highest standards of integrity, positivity and compassion. Its has been strongly stressed that you were all an absolute pleasure to meet and complete against.

Your commitment to the sport and your players can only be praised. From my perspective at the ESFA, it starts with Ray really getting things going in the area and continuing to push to create opportunities. A mantle that James Ross has really taken on and created a fantastic culture in the District for coaches, staff, players, parents and everyone involved in Schools’ Football. Matt Boynton was specifically named for his outstanding behaviour, conduct and the environment Matt creates for his players.

Well done everyone, keep going; you are a credit to schools football.

Regards

Haydn
