one of the most nervous,emotional and proud weeks of my life.
it was fucking amazing.
the milk cup is ran brilliantly, and is a real big deal for the northern irish who embrace the tournament and work hard to make it what it is.
it was so much better than i ever imagined.and the lads were superb

Great stuff arriba, i have had over the years lots of dealings with football within the northern ireland youth groups and the organisation and passion is outstanding.
I plan to come over for this one year.

D'you have to pay to watch the games, or just the obvious flights/hotel fees? |

some games you have to pay, but others are free.
you can get group tickets which save loads of money if you want to watch alot of matches.you need a car as games are spread around the area.
i watched about 3 games a day over there.1 of which being the swindon fixture.i was charged to enter one of the town games.

My son played in it last year,its a fantastic well run tournament, and gives the boys a taste of what its like being a pro footballer.For most of the boys this will be the closest they get to being a pro,and boy do they enjoy it. A few will make the youth team. The rest will be released, but the memories they will have will stay with them for a long time.
