Final vs. Aston Villa

The final was a tremendous match against the local Aston Villa development team. Unfortunately, RMBU fell short by a score of 2-0. RMBU had numerous chances to score but just couldn't find the back of the net. Aston Villa scored two high quality goals which proved to be enough for the win.

We are all so proud of the boys for their performance, competitiveness and conduct. It has been a tremendous experience for everyone and it will be something they carry with them for the rest of their lives. Despite the loss today, the boys were pleased to have accomplished a second place finish.

The group is having a celebratory dinner tonight and then we'll scatter throughout Europe on our separate family vacations. The Ng family is off to Holland tomorrow to get in touch with the Mathot roots. There'll be one more blog post with some pictures of the tournament action and then that will be it for me.

Thanks again to all you for supporting this trip. It has truly been a once in a lifetime experience that Andy will never forget.
