[ENGLISH] After Dana Cup no.1 2002 we decided that in 2003 we had to offer the girls a tournament to remember for many years. Vidar came up with your tournament as an alternative, and when the girls came to know this was possible everyone were exited. This was really something no teams in our area had done before. Planning started and we found that this tournament was not more expensive than going to tournamets in Scandinavia. This winter training was just fun in our cold and snowy winter when looking forward to the Liverpool trip. Travelling by Ryanair, and with the coach arranged by you the trip went without trouble. Accomodation and food was much better than we have experienced before. Single rooms and real plates etc. (And some American boys in the same hall not to mention). Good playing fields and good referees, and the teams we played against were about the same level as us. Being no. 3 and awarded the Fair Play Cup was more than we expected. We also felt greatly honoured to meet the Lord Mayor of Liverpool and the Mayor of Knowsley. We hope that more girls' team will participate next year, so that the girls too can play for more days.
Liverpool has a lot to offer, good shopping, football clubs with great history, pubs, Albert Dock and The Beatles etc. For the parents we recommend "The Magical Mystery Tour", you will learn a lot about The Beatles.

[NORWEGIAN] Etter Dana Cup nr.1 2002 we bestemte oss for å tilby jentene en turnering de kom til å huske i mange år. Vidar fant denne turneringen som et av flere alternativ, når jentene fikk tilbudet var det full oppsluttning med en gang. Dette var noe som ingen lag i vårt område hadde gjort før. Planleggingen startet, og vi fant ut at det ikke var dyrere å delta i denne turneringen enn turneringer i skandinavia. Vintertreningen var bare moro i snø og kulde, når vi kunne se fram til Liverpool turen.
Reisen med Ryanair, og henting med buss arrangert av turneringledelsen gikk som en drøm. Innkvartering og mat war bedre enn vi har opplevd tidligere. nerom og skikkelige tallerkener osv. (Og en gjeng amerikanske gutter i samme hus ikke å forglemme) Fine baner og gode dommere, og motstandere på omtrent samme nivå som oss. 3. premie og Fair Play pokal var mer enn vi håpet på forhånd. Vi fikk også æren av å møte borgermesterene i Liverpool og Knowsley.
Vi håper på flere lag i jenteklassene neste år, slik at jentene også får kamper over flere dager.
Liverpool har mye å by på, handlemuligheter, fotballklubber med lang historie, puber, Albert Dock og The Beatles osv. For foreldre anbefales "The Magical Mystery Tour", mye å lære om The Beatles.
