The juniors show confidence at the BWCI Mini Soccer Festival.....

Last weekend left me in no doubt that football still leads the Sports when it comes down to numbers.

I spent time on Saturday and Sunday at Victoria Park photographing the 2026 BWCI Mini Soccer Festival.

Beyond the number of young players taking part from Alderney, Guernsey and Jersey it was the passion and enthusiasm seen on the pitch that impressed.

The format is non-stop with short games and once Sunday's games were played there had to be a winner.... and with no extra time it was straight to penalties!

The scene was set for great drama and tension with the youngsters stepping up with calm confidence and maturity.

But I definitely saw a few parents falling to pieces whilst the shoot-outs progressed!

I've added new Galleries featuring my photos including one devoted to some of the penalties!
