Yesterday we hosted our Eastern Region 6-a-Side Tournament at Goals Portsmouth ⚓⚽

A fantastic event with 13 teams taking part, including 3 female teams, showcasing great football and even better support across the region.

Teams represented:
🔹 HMS Sultan
🔹 HMS Collingwood
🔹 HMNB Portsmouth
🔹 SURFLOT
🔹 HMS Dauntless
🔹 HMS Sterling Castle
🔹 Royal Marines Band

Alongside female players from across the country.

It was brilliant to see so many ships, units, and establishments coming together for a great day of football and networking.

The top two teams from each group progressed to the semi-finals:
🏆 Sultan 1s
🏆 HMS Dauntless 1s
🏆 Sultan 2s
🏆 Sultan 3s

Congratulations to HMS Sultan 3s, who came out 3–2 winners against Sultan 1s in a brilliant final 👏

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the event such a success, especially referee Hugh Doyle, LPT Paul Sykes for officiating, and all the volunteers who helped organise and run their teams throughout the day.
