12th June
Wales 6, N Ireland 0
Wales retained the WorkwearSupermarket.com o50s Home Nations Title with an emphatic win over Northern Ireland Veterans at Jenner Park. Wales took command from the off and although the visitors defended stubbornly, Francis opened the scoring in the 10th minute to set the hosts on their way. In a sparkling display Wales scored further goals through Thompson, Smith (2), Kennedy (2) and a Williams screamer. Andrew Yorke lifted the trophy to the acclaim of a jubilant Welsh contingent and their sporting opponents from Northern Ireland and England.

England 3, Team GB 0
In the final match of the tournament, England took the honours, by a slightly flattering 3-0 scoreline. In an end-to-end encounter, Team GB were punished for defensive errors. They conceded an early penalty which Deakin duly converted to give his side a 1-0 lead at the break. In the second half England's Hooker dictated the game, and former Fulham legend scored a brace to settle matters and confirm a second place finish for his team.

N Ireland 0, England 1
England won an evenly fought contest in blistering heat at Jenner Park. Striker, Deakin on target with a superb finish. Northern Ireland could have rescued the game at the death but England stopper, Bedford, diffused the threat.

Wales 1, Team GB 0
In the second game, Wales striker Vince Lewis scored on the stroke of half-time after missing an earlier penalty against an energetic Team GB. Dean Morris again impressed whilst Shane Davies and Andy Legg were a constant threat, in fact the result should have been more convincing if one or more of their crosses had been converted. Although Wales manager, Rogan Matthews, was far from happy with the performance, it leaves his team needing just a point from their last game tomorrow against Northern Ireland to retain the WorkwearSupermarket.com o50s Home Nations title.

Wales 1, England 0
The WorkwearSupermarket.com o50s Home Nations Tournament, kicked off in sweltering conditions at Jenner Park and Wales secured a vital victory against a strongly fancied England outfit. In a tight and frenetic first half, Wales were the brighter, with Dean Morris pulling the strings in midfield and Williams and Kennedy proving a handful for the English back line. The closest Wales came to breaking the deadlock arrived on 35 minutes when substitute Thompson forced a great save from the England keeper, Bedford, and it remained scoreless at the interval.

England started the second half with more intent and keeper Toop made a superb save to deny England striker Hayles from close in. Wales regained their composure and Nicky Francis put Wales ahead on the hour when he crashed home from 15 yards. Both sides created chances but found both keepers in sparkling form. England had a late claim for a penalty denied and the hosts held on for the three points.

Northern Ireland 2, Team GB 2
The earlier game between Northern Ireland and Team GB finished all-square. The Irish took a two goal lead but Team GB earned a deserved draw with a Stacey Dawes brace!
