León, Sergio Esteban y John
Since last year, we’ve been keenly following the progress of the young group of budding footballers who make up the “Peña Los Compadres” team in Marbella. Why? The easy answer to that is because we sponsor the teams training kit (see photo).
Things in the local league haven’t gone as well as they could have, with a mid-table 7th position. We are; however, pleased to report that three of the team’s star players have been selected to represent Malaga province in the upcoming Andalucian Championship for provincial teams which will be held in La Herradura, Granada on the 5th, 6th and 7th of May.
León, Sergio Esteban and John have had to undergo gruelling trials – nine to be exact – before making the final team. All that hard work has now paid off and the youngsters are looking forward to, what will undoubtedly, be a very entertaining and competitive tournament.
The Málaga team are in a tough group playing against Sevilla, Granada and Cordoba – Sevilla won the tournament last year and Granada have the home advantage. The second group is made up of Cadiz, Jaen Almería and Huelva, with Cadiz probably the favourites to go through to the finals – But the guys in the Málaga team are confident that they can give them a run for their money! We certainly wish them all the best for the tournament.
Sergio Esteban (Centre of the photo) has actually done some training this season with Sevilla FC and even made their team for an earlier tournament in Mallorca. John (on the right) has also been training with Colchester United and played for them in a couple of matches at the University of Essex. Some future stars in the making?
