"Hi Ian, Just like to thank Eurofootballfives for Barca 2011. It was very well organised and all our team enjoyed the day and will be attending many more in the future. Will look forward to speaking to you again organising another tournament. Cheers, Gaz, El A Dee's."

Gaz Lawrence - El A Dees (Barca Fives, November 2011)

"Hi Ian, Thank you very much for your organisation. We are second time to enjoy your tournament. We all enjoyed this year as well. Especially, you Ian, you are so good to organise and nice person. We thought we could be winner, okay, will do next time. Best regards."

Gaku Sato - Samurai Japan (Barca Fives, November 2011)

"This was our first ever Eurofootballfives tournament but it will not be our last. Our performance in Barcelona was hardly inspiring, but the way that our trip was sorted out from start to finish really was first class. All the teams that competed were there for two things: Football and a good time. Definitely an experience we won't be forgetting in a while. Hopefully our second one will be even better." 

Liam Apicella - Return of the Dancing Horses III (Barca Fives, November 2011)

Hi Ian, Everyone absolutely loved it so thanks very much! I'm looking forward to seeing the post-match report etc. The accommodation and pubs etc were all awesome. Everything was very well organised too, so credit to you. We have been talking about next year already and would like some info on Portugal and Krakow if possible please. Thanks, Brian.

Brian Leigh - Kazakhstan FC (Barca Fives, November 2011)

"Hi Ian, It was a pleasure to be involved in Barca Fives. We really enjoyed the tournament and thought it was run superbly. Our spare time was a mixture of sightseeing and dealing with a hangover - but I guess that is a standard weekend in Barcelona. Looking forward to the post tournament report and possibly being involved in a future tour with eurofootballfives. Thank you for putting together a wonderful event!"

Ryan Pointer - Breckland FC (Barca Fives, November 2011)

"This was our first eurofootballfives tournament and we were all impressed with the organisation and professionalism throughout. The tournament was very well run and we will be doing a another tournament next year, would highly recommend to anyone.We had a fantastic time."

Andy Lawrence - Midshires FC (Barca Fives, November 2011)

"HMS Sultan FC would like to say a big thank you to you and your team for a fantastic weekend in Barcelona, was one of the best football weekends we have ever had. It was a good and well organised weekend - now we are looking at future events from you and passing details on to other military establishments. Please pass my regards on to your team."

Chris Belsten - HMS Sultan FC (Barca Fives, November 2011)

Many thanks for Barcelona - we all had a most enjoyable time. Shame about our football but we will return. Barcelona was our first international tournament and what a great find it was. Well organised and a most enjoyable day. Not sure the continental style of refereeing suited our particular style of play but the tournament was brilliant. Many thanks to Ian and his team.

William Waddell-Dudley - Hiscox Bulls (Barca Fives, November 2011)

"Many thanks again for such a great well organised trip, like always the lads had the most amazing time and just seems to get better and better with every trip. We're all still buzzing about the victory in the plate and it was fantastic to see the game played in such high spirits. To be honest there are not enough superlatives to descibe the trips we've had with you, 5 down and still going strong. You will definately see the wafty's again!

ps. I'll keep you informed on our trip choice, the last day we had a chat and the general theme is we want to play in another tournament next year aswell as the stag do so I'll let you know what we decide on as soon as possible!"

James Rowland - Wafty Crankers (Prague Masters, July 2011)

"My name is Michael and a played on cup Prague masters 2011, in team named Fc xaverov. Thanx for the tournament, it was the best tournament what i ever played =)."

Michael Predikant - FC Xaverov (Prague Masters, July 2011)

"I just wanted to say thanks for a great weekend on behalf of FC Dad! Although we may not have been as competitive as we would have liked in footballing terms, we thought the tournament was run very professionally and were all impressed by the organisation of the weekend as a whole. We had a great time and will definitely be in touch soon to book a tournament for next summer. Thanks again, David."

David Crewdson - FC Dad (Prague Masters, July 2011)

Yes,just we are back and we have great time on the tournament and in Prague as well. We like the tournament as it has different international teams and playing styles.Really intense and dynamic especially in play-offs. We hope to try our chance in Prague or another city once more and getting to the top-). Great thanks to everyone-)!

Sergej - CIS, Belarus (Prague Masters, July 2011)

"Hi Ian, thanks very much for a brilliant tournament - we all really enjoyed it and are very keen on arranging a tour to another one in the near future. Many thanks again and it was great to meet you."

Barry Lysaght - Saipan FC (Prague Masters, July 2011)

"It was a great tournament - still recovering from the sun burn though. It was hard down the pub - we went through every scenario - personnel on the pitch, why our last man was an attacker etc but it all comes down to the fact after arranging the wall I wasn't covering my corner. On my part it was a lack of faith after the previous two walls jumped out the way during the match but you can't take away from the fact it was a perfect free kick. Anyway, another improved performance. We are creeping towards a Cup Semi Final. Next time I guess.

Gordon - GBS Reds (Prague Masters, July 2011)

"Thanks Ian we had a fantastic time. The tournament was flawless (unlike our passing) and Prague is one of the most beautiful cities we have experienced. Please don't hesitate to send us details of any tournaments in the future."

James Mackay - AC Lesk (Prague Masters, July 2011)

"Hi Ian,your tournament was excellent once again and we all would like to say a big thankyou to you! Also we would love to go to the majorca 2012 tournament so pencil us in."

Dave Thomas - Norton Hill Old Boys (Prague Masters, July 2011).

"Hi Ian, The event was organised very well and we really appreciated the transfers and hotel. We were looked after and will be doing another event. Could you forward on to me the tournament dates from the beginning of next year until August time."

Simon Walker - Blurry Eyed Winks (Amsterdam Fives, July 2011)

"Ian, a pleasure.  We all thgought it was a very professionally run event, in fact the whole weekend went without a hitch.  We would definetely recommend one of your tours to anyone else and alhough the bones are stll creaking we should have recovered in time for Mallorca next year and the 'Champions of Champions' tournament in 2013. Looking forward to the photos!! Thanks, Michael and the rest of the 'Inter Women' team (Reigning European Champions of the World!!)

Michael Hanley - Inter Women (Amsterdam Fives, July 2011).

Thanks again for organising another great tournament! We all had a fantastic weekend and yet again the tournament was brilliant fun - great facilities, good local knowledge, like minded other players make for an even more amusing weekend and a very good standard of football this year too. Being able to turn up to one of Europe's best cities and have good central accommodation and a full football tournament already organised for you makes for the start of a quality weekend!

We'll be looking to book another one next year hopefully but not sure which one yet - quite tempted by Algarve or Mallorca."

Matt Pell - Brighton & Hove Rockets (Amsterdam Fives, July 2011)

"Hi mate,Just a thanks again for the tournament, both Seahawks teams' really enjoyed it. The setup was spot on, can't wait for next year. Cheers."

"Just wanted to echo Jack's thoughts on the tour... thanks for organising another fantastic event, thoroughly enjoyed by all involved! Look forward to gunning for glory again out in Barca."

Jack Kennedy & Tim Moore - 9 Nana Budds (Algarve Open, June 2011)

"This was our fifth tournament with eurofootballfives and it won't be our last. The tournaments are always run professionally from the airport transfer right to the post match presentation. Having played and experienced the tournaments in Prague, Amsterdam, Barcelona and the Algarve I couldn't fault any of them. Definitely an experience you won't forget."

Chris Williams - Goldsmith Williams (Algarve Open, June 2011)

Just to say thanks for another great weekend! This is the third tournament we have entered and each one has been well organised, hassle free and very enjoyable. Looking forward to next year already!

Paul O Neill - Pimp my side FC  (Algarve Open, June 2011)

"We had a blast, all the lads have stated they have never seen such a well organised tournament. I think we will definitely be entering into another one but maybe start the holiday drinking after! The hotel was spot on and we could have easily stayed for a few extra days. The tournament ran smoothly from end to finish thanks to Ian and his colleagues. We will be back next year to defend our Wooden Spoon trophy."

David Kinealy - Misfits FC (Algarve Open, June 2011)

"Thank you once again for an excellent tournament and holiday. The boys have unanimously agreed that this was our best trip ever!!! The accommodation was spot on in terms of locality to the bars and a quality pool. Plus we came home with a trophy and plenty of new stories! We will be back for another trip in the future.......a massive thank you from the Eagles!"

Julian Smith - New Milton Eagles (Algarve Open, June 2011)

Thanks again for an awesome tournament. To play in that final was immense."

Mark Hignett - Cheesecake FC (Algarve Open, June 2011)

"The Krakow Trophy was our football club's 8th end of season tour and our 2nd with eurofootballfives. From our experience they have organised the best tournaments in Europe's best venues. Slick planning, competitive tournaments and customer-friendly approach, they are superior to any of their rivals. We're already planning to book next year's adventure with them."

Chris Owen - Apsley House FC (Krakow Trophy, June 2011)

''We had an absolute blast at the 2011 Krakow Football Fives tournament. It was a great venue, well organized, played in the right spirit and overall just a very fun day out. I couldn't recommend taking part highly enough as you can combine a stay in one of Europes most beautiful cities with a great day out as its centrepiece. The organizer Ian did a great job and there was no trouble at all. Great Craic overall. Slainte. Dave."

Dave McGinley - Irish Mbassy (Krakow Trophy, June 2011)

"The lads said they had a great time and are keen to do more so please keep me abreast of what you have over the summer and next year. Regards, James."

James Capel - The Happy Union (Krakow Trophy, June 2011)

Ian, on behalf of all of us, thank you so much for what was an absolutely incredible weekend. We all had a great time which will live long in the memory. We all said yesterday how well organised we thought everything was from before we left right through to our transfer back to the airport. We didn't really have to think about anything. We are very keen to be involved again and will look at the cities and be in touch for quotes soon. We will probably have hangovers until next weekend. Thanks again, Rob."

Rob Wootton - Alphasights (Krakow Trophy, June 2011)

"Thanks for organising another great tournament. This is CSF's 9th tournament, we always have a great time and is the reason we keep coming back. Can't wait for our next appearance. The tournament venue in Mallorca next to the beach was amazing as well as the accommodation close to the nightlife."

Oscar Zamora - CSF (2011 Mallorca Tournament, May 2011)

"The tournament was great fun and we all enjoyed it! However i think we all agree that next time we do it we wont be getting home at 6:30 on the morning of the tournament! The transfers to the hotel were fast and no waiting around at the airport, the transfers home were early, and overall everything we booked through yourselves was brilliant! The whole organisation of the holiday and tournament were perfect! And to top it off we had 3 AMAZING nights in magaluf. What more could you ask for on a lads holiday??!! Looking forward to seeing the photos and info from the tournament."

Jack Davis - Inter Urmum (2011 Mallorca Tournament, May 2011)

Hi Ian, Great tournament! The boys really enjoyed themselves. Thank you! Let me know the dates you may have in mind for next years tournament. Cheers, Carl M."

Carl McCarthy - Midway FC (2011 Mallorca Tournament, May 2011).

"Hi Ian, Good to see you in Budapest. Comments I have about the tournament/weekend are:
 

• well organised event.
• great venue with decent facilities.
• played in a friendly yet highly competitive spirit.

Cheers, Dan."

Dan Andrews, Olympic Phil Babb (Budapest Fives, May 2011)

Just wanted to thank you on behalf of myself and the lads for another well organized and entertaining tour. The facilities were excellent as always and we had a rare few nights out in Budapest - with many a story to remember. It really helps us grow as a team when we attend the tours and strengthens the bond between the lads. Thanks again from Whiteley FC - all the lads have been raving about it since we got back.

Dale Matthews - Whiteley FC (Budapest Fives, May 2011)

"On behalf of Johns Boys I would like to thank yourself and your colleagues for an excellent weekend - the transfers from the airport to the hotel were first class and very smooth. The football facilities were outstanding and the day itself was expertly organized. We would defiantly recommend eurofootballfives to anyone looking for a hassle free football tour in Europe. Johns Boys are already considering another eurofootballfives event. Thanks again."

Chris and all the lads from Johns Boys (Budapest Fives, May 2011)

Afternoon Ian. It was a really good weekend!! Thanks to you for your organisation. We had a quality time in Budapest! Lots of good bars and clubs! We did like that Caledonia bar where the social was held - beers, birds and footy - what more can you ask!! We are thinking of going Algarve next year and some of the lads may also do Valencia again.

Oliver Gardener - Bridge House FC (Budapest Fives, May 2011)

"Dear Ian! It was our pleasure to play at such a tournament. We were glad to see many international teams visiting Budapest and we were really keen to test our team against international opponents as it's always nice to play against teams with different style and mentality. It was great to see the right attitude of all teams where the results were clearly important but fair play and entertainment were also a major point. It was a great experience for the whole team and we are absolutely proud of our bronze medal. Hope to see you at the next tournament! Best regards."

Milan Martonfi - Csabagyongye (Budapest Fives, May 2011)

Once again I would like to thank Ian from the DHL Prague squads for yet again another impeccable tournament, not only was everything organised and on schedule but from my point of view his added personal touch with the teams helped make the event very worthwhile and easy for all involved."

Scott - DHL Prague (Budapest Fives, May 2011)

It was truly and honor and a pleasure to be part of such a well organised tournament. The setting was beautiful and the atmosphere and quality of football was outstanding. Myself and the rest of the team will certainly be attending more of these events. It was value for money, friendly staff throughout the whole organisation process, who were extremely helpful from beginning to end. My only disappointment was that would couldn't stay longer and enjoy such a quality event in a wonderful city. Very highly recommended  for anyone who has a passion for the beautiful game. Many many thanks,

Troy Grant - Bede FC (Barcelona Fives, April 2011)

Hi Ian, thanks a lot for the whole tour - was smashing, didnt have to worry about a thing great facilities, couldnt of asked for any more. Thanks again. Nathan."

Nathan Anderson - Smack My Pitch Up (Barcelona Fives, April 2011)

Hi Ian,

Thanks for a great time in Barca. All the lads thought it was great value for money - our hotel was bang on. That along with all the transfers, the Nou Camp Tour and the tournament itself was an absolute bargain. It's a shame we got so spannered on the Friday and hence got given an absolute kicking at the football. Lol. guess you live and learn, might have to get the Sat morn flight next time. All the best and thanks again, Kris."

Kris Sparrow - Idealhouseshare Allstars (Barcelona Fives, April 2011)

"Hi Ian, Was again a very well organised tournament and I know the team enjoyed it.  It was great to revisit the haunts from last year! What tournaments are coming up?"

Chris Fajer - Warranty Direct FC (Barcelona Fives, April 2011)

"After attending the Algarve Open in 2010 I was really looking forward to the Barcelona Fives tournament and I was not disappointed. It was superbly organised from the moment we got our airport transfer on arrival in Barcelona to our check-in at the hotel and of course the actual tournament itself. Great value for money and an excellent few days was had by all. Can't wait for the 2012 tournament."

Dan Woods - Your Mum's Athletic (Barcelona Fives, April 2011).

Hi Ian! Yes we have a good times and we think at only one thing, come again to show that we will be able to win another tournament! We really enjoy the tournament because we played a beautiful football and had fun on the field! Thank you for everything the organisation was perfect, as the last time!! I hope we'll see you again as soon as possible!!

Naim Tarbi - Luminy Wolves (Barcelona Fives, April 2011)

"Hi Ian, Thanks for a great weekend eveything was organised brillantly. I thought the tourament wa played in a great spirit and all the teams seem to have the right attitude which was to enjoy themselves. As soon as you know your tours for 2012 let me know and hopeflly we will be able to attend one. Many Thanks."

Paul Reid - Intermore FC (Barcelona Fives, April 2011)

Hi, pleasure to send few lines in the meantime of the "big game".
 
After several tournaments, these are the rules one team needs to know, according to my experience:
1-Strong start.
2-One needs a good and competitive team.
3-Inteligence when team is down in score.
4-Finish well the group phase so next step can be a succes.
5-Never understimate team in quarters. Only one thing is forbidden when you can't lose: to lose
6-Don't feel too weak after tough games, hard sun or bad weather. Rest well in meantimes.
7-The final is the goal but not only the winner ends happy the day, remember.
8-With only four teams in game, respect, good spirits, minimum nerves and trophies are near.
9-I didn't say it before but no violence or bad words during games.
10-Final is a bless after a long day. Go for it. The report will say the best of you and your opponent.
ps: be lucky with penalties.

David Garcia Gallego - Rapid Bosco Navas (Barcelona Fives, April 2011)

The accommdation was excellent, the transfers smooth and the football tournament itself, well-organised and played in a good spirit. The whole team had a great weekend away and were more than satisfied with the value for money that we received. Thanks again, we're looking forward to entering one of your other tournaments next year!"

We were all very impressed by how well organised the trip was."

Richard Norbury - Sherwood Forest (Krakow Cup, August 2010)

Have just about recovered from my east european travels to sort my emails! Thanks again for the fantastic tournament in Krakow...we all had such a great time! Well organised as usual! See you in the Algarve next year.

Thanks again! Ollie.

Ollie Van Den Broek - FCB Helles and FCB Dunkles (Krakow Cup, August 2010)

"Hi Ian,

Many thanks for a great tournament, we will definitely be coming again. "A thoroughly well organised tournament and weekend. The accomodation was perfect for the circumstances. The tournament itself was a testament to the eurofootballfives organisation encompassing a range of teams and catering for all standards.

A great idea for a football team re-union weekend, the eurofootballfives team organise everything to cater for a very enjoyable trip. Highly recommended as it caters for all standards. Our team entered the prague tournament so that we could get a great weekend away with a bit of ball. Some other teams were more serious footballers and they were also catered for. All in all, a great weekend away with a bit of everything. Thanks, Ross."

Ross Nicholson - Dot Cotton's Flaps (Prague Masters, July 2010)

Had an awesome time once again Ian! Top stuff and we will definitely be joining you on another tour soon. We have used eurofootballfives a couple of times now and are always blown away by the organisational excellence demonstrated consistently by Ian and his team. Two tournaments, two great cities, two amazing events and not a single hic up – we are happy to call ourselves regular customers of this awesome company! Roll on the next trip.

Peter Lovell - Masters of The Pooniverse (Prague Masters, July 2010)

We did have a good time in Prague cheers, and especially enjoyed the tournament result! Well done for keeping the day running well, everything ran smoothly for us. Transfers were good and the accomodation was fine. We'll no doubt be looking to continue our record next year somewhere!

James Batty - Olympic Phil Babb (Prague Masters, July 2010)

"Another weekend of fun and football courtesy of eurofootballfives. While the weather might not have been up to much, the organisation was once again top notch and we thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Excellent value for money, eurofootballfives takes the hassle out of organising a weekend away. With our 8th tournament under our belt, we already look forward to tour number 9!"

Hitesh Joshi - CSF (Prague Masters, July 2010)

Hi Ian, The Meal Machine had a great time and we were really impressed with the organisation and facilities. The pitch was fantastic although it left us with few excuses for some wayward shooting. We also thought every team had a friendly competitive attitude - an example of which was the winners loving the fact the only game we won was against them (in which of course I scored a fine hat-trick!).

Prague was a great venue but perhaps next time we'll choose to have a quiet night in before the tournament! It was a great stag weekend and all the guys had a fantastic time and want to return.Thanks again and keep me on the mailing list."

Sam Walmesley - Meal Machine (Prague Masters, July 2010).

"Dear Ian, We had an amazing time in Prague. Everyone is proper broken and I cannot stop laughing out loud to my self at work about all the funny things that happened. The football was great. A really good way to spend one of the days of our trip. Made better by our team winning the Plate!!. Thanks for everything. If we have any photos we will send them through. Best regards, Adam."

Adam Franke - Bernabeu Butchers and The Nou Camps (Prague Masters, July 2010)

If you want to go on a stag or just a holiday with the lads, then prague is definately a place to be considered. It sure is an experience. when you're not playing football, there is so much to do, Ipersonally visited central almost everyday, and got a relatively cheap massage (before going into the tournament). Also had time to dig in to the local food, which was expensive but very good. Value for money!

Mav Dhotar - Dynamo Fucdarest (Prague Masters, July 2010)

We had an absolutely fantastic time on tour. Amsterdam was a brilliant place to visit and obviously the timing of the tournament with the World Cup final worked out superbly. All in all, we had a fantastic 5 days even if we can't remember much!

I just wanted to say on behalf of the whole team what a truly amazing time we had on tour. The tournament was superbly organised from start to finish, the whole day was a fantastic occasion and we enjoyed every second. Everyone in the team has asked me to pass on their gratitude for the tournament and we will definitely be returning next year to one of the other cities on offer, we're looking forward to next year already! The communication from yourself could not have been any better as well, the replies were always prompt and insightful and your knowledge of the area was extremely helpful, it made the organising for ourselves so much easier as a result. As we had never been on any tour like this before we were obviously not sure what to expect with this tournament but we were all extremely impressed, everyone we met was exceptionally friendly and welcoming and made the occasion even better. I can't speak highly enough of the tournament, we will most definitely be back next year to try and win another title!"

Richard Walker - Dark Horses (Plate Winners Amsterdam Fives, July 2010)

Had another fantastic time as always. This was our fourth tournament in less than two years travelling across various European destinations. Each tournament has always been perfectly run. The Amsterdam football facilities were great along with the hotel. We will be keen to make a return next time around as the current title holders. The value for money for such an outstanding occasion cannot be matched. Can't speak in a higher regard  for you guys as you always do a fine job. Thanks again.

Chris Williams - Goldsmith Williams (Cup Winners Amsterdam Fives, July 2010)

"Hi Ian, thanks we had a great time again, we were gutted we could not repeat amsterdam but a semi final was good considering some of us hadn't kicked a ball since that day last year!!! Thanks again for a great day, hopefully see you again sometime next year (possibly Algarve). Speak to you soon, Nicky."

Nicky Walsh - Bull Heads (Manchester Fives, July 2010)

"Hi Ian, Hope all is well! Thanks for a great tournament in Mancs...we all had a fantastic time!! Well organised and fun. Have just about recovered by now :)"

Oliver Van Den Broek - FC Biermeisters (Manchester Fives, July 2010)

"Thanks for organising the tournament on Saturday. We all really enjoyed it and would be interested in playing again next year if you were to organise anouther tournament in the UK. Great news about the money raised for The Prostate Cancer Charity.

Gavin Worrall - Creative Support (Manchester Fives, July 2010)

I'd like to thank you for organising the tournament in Barcelona, all our guys had a fantastic time, both at the football and in general in the city.

The tournament was really well run, and was played in a good spirit and was a decent standard. We are looking to do a tournament every year, as we have just finished uni and will take this as an opportunity to meet up on a regular basis. Thanks again and look forward to seeing you in Prague or in one of the tournaments in 2011.

Gary Hammersley - Breast Rummage Albion (Barcelona Fives, June 2010)

"We had a wicked time and of course, were extremely pleased to participate in a winning way! We are very keen to come back and defend our title next year so please update me when details are released as we would prefer to book flights well in advance to help reduce costs. Once again my thanks to you for organising everything. Winning put a rather tasty cherry on an otherwise scrumptious cake!"

Mark Szeliga - Magic Monkeys FC (Barcelona Fives, June 2010)

We had a great weekend, Barcelona was the perfect place for a weekend away and combining it with a footy tournament makes it even better. The tourno was really well organised and a good standard of football made it a competitive but good natured battle, particularly on a few hours sleep! Looking forward to the tourno report and pictures. We'll certainly be on another trip next year."

Tom Brunt - It's Back (Barcelona Fives, June 2010).

"Gotta say awesome tournament already planning the next one!"

David Payne - Warranty Direct (Barcelona Fives, June 2010).

"I have to say the whole team was very imressed with the organisation of the tournament, and had great fun at the event, and the night after!

Chris Fajer - Warranty Direct (Barcelona Fives, June 2010).

"Hi Ian, Prague all went great - minibus was on time, football pitch was good. Thanks for organising it."

Rich Henderson - 5-a-side tour to Prague, June 2010.

"We had a brilliant time in Valencia, it was a really good laugh. Thanks very much for sorting the hotel, it suited us perfectly especially the rooftop bar."

Neil Viney - 5-a-side tour to Valencua, June 2010

"First of all i wanna thank you and your organisation for bringing the tournaments that you organize to our attention. It was a great oppertunity for us and the team to relax, have fun and play " the all loved game of football" with teams from all the different countries.

We had an excellent time ...and not just because we won the tournament after just playin for the first time....but the environment, the great atmosphere with the other teams and of course the wonderfull weather made it a happening none of my team members wil ever forget.

They are already talkin about taking part again all the years to come. We also wanna thank the teams for the great sportsmanship ...thanks to that we all enjoyed a great day of football.

Don't wanna make this a long story ...but we can HIGHLY RECOMMEND everybody to take part or just go as a spectator to the Algarve Open...you wont be dissopointed....i know we didnt!!"

Marvin Fraenk - Athletico Do Hollande (Algarve Open, June 2010)

'What an absolute blast we had. Was the best trip of 30 of our lives. Everything was so organised and ran smoothly from start to finish so I really do owe a big thank you for helping to make it the most amazing stag trip imaginable. Very highly recommended.

All the lads are determined to come back and give it another go so no doubt will see you again at some point. Hope the Dutch team stay away tho!! Wow they were good. As for the Villas they were perfect and couldn't have had a better location. All in all 110% - well worth all the planning. Good luck for the future and keep up the good work."

Dane Townsend - Sporting Lesbians & 4 other teams (Algarve Open, June 2010)

We thank you again for the great time that we had in Algarve. We are still talking about the tournament.It was such a great experience for the guys. Thank you also for the report.

Isalita Pinto - Athletico Do Hollande (Algarve Open, June 2010)

"Think im just about coming back to some sort of normality but could do with catching up on the lack of sleep over the weekend. I really enjoyed the tournament and I thought it was really well organised.  It was in a very picturesque setting and with the 3 separate competitions after the group stages it meant we definitely got our monies worth. Our team are already looking into the other tournaments you run for next year so we will be back."

Dan Woods - Your Mum's Athletic & Pete's Pink Pirates FC (Algarve Open, June 2010)

"Yet another well organized, reasonably priced and enjoyable tour. The assistance you provided both before, during and after the tournament really helped get things organised. We were all happy with the accommodation and transfers laid on. With the 10% discount for returning clients we saved over £200 which gladly went on beer for the first night!

As well as the excellent location, the tournament itself provided a variety of challenges with the teams from Portugal, Ireland, England and Holland all having their own styles and attitudes. Thankfully we weren't the only ones to over indulge the night before the tournament. We hope to see you on tour next year. Thanks again for all your help."

Dale Matthews - Whiteley FC (Algarve Open, June 2010)

"Hi Ian, we're getting ready for our last night. Thanks for another great tour. Once again thank you very much for a wonderful tournament, the lads said it was the best they had ever participated in."

Brendan Sheehan (via SMS) - Askeaton FC (Algarve Open, June 2010)

"Hi Ian, the tournament was great and we felt we were well looked after by everyone, you done a great job rearranging the tournament at the last minute and we all had a good time. We didn't make the post match drinks but had a good night out in the Irish bar. When we saw the average age of the teams we thought we were going to be in for a hard day but we felt we did Ireland proud. Many Thanks, Paul."

Paul Reid - Intermore FC (Krakow Trophy, May 2010)

"Thanks for a superb weekend of football in Barcelona! The variety  of nations represented in the tournament made for a great spectacle - it was fantastic to pit our wits against top class players from top class nations. The tournament was expertly organised. We look forward to returning in one of your future tournaments!"

Shaun Gurney - FC Radbroke (Barca Fives, November 2009)

"We had a great time and enjoyed the tournament. The level of competition was good and really enjoyed our time in Barcelona and great it was t-shirt weather.

The tournament was smoothly operated  in a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. Beating Spanish and French teams really adds a good feel factor to the team's footballing experience. The combination of a nice weekend away with the lads in Barcelona coupled with the tournament makes it a memorable weekend. The tournament was easy to organise with the tournament organisers who were very friendly and helpful in assisting before, during and after the tournament. We will definitely be participating next year at one of the tournament offerings."

Asif Sheikh - Galacticos & Kameeeeene (Barca Fives, November 2009)

"Ian, Just a quick one to say thanks for a great weekend. All the lads had nothing but praise for the way it was organised, and also the standard of the hostel, which was very good. We will definetly be looking to book one up for next year, and hopefully bring a few more players! Thanks, Ashley."

Ashley Pursey - Tsunami FC (Barca Fives, November 2009)

"Thanks Ian, We all really enjoyed it (again!), on behalf of the team thanks very much for everything. We'll even forgive you for the group of death :)."

Chris Howard - Rigford Seahawks (Prague Trophy, October 2009)

As before it was a great day! The gameswere competitive but also played in good spirit. I'm a lot happier with the GBS performance this time round - especially putting one over DHL!

Gordon MacIntosh - JNJ Global Services (Prague Trophy, October 2009)

"Good morning Ian, Just a quick one to say thanks for the weekend we all enjoyed it. For next year  it is probably Krakow with a possible Slovenia on the cards later in the year."

Clarke Woollam - Atlantic Star (Prague Trophy, October 2009)

"A well organised tournament and just a great laugh! We'll be back again next year for the third time running."

Dan Genders - Bartley Greeners (Amsterdam Fives, August 2009)

"Myself and the team really enjoyed the football and Amsterdam. We starting to get together now for Barcelona 2010 for my stag party and some of the other boys are planning to go to Prague as well."

Matthew Armistead - Wafty Crankers (Amsterdam Fives, August 2009)

"Many thanks again for organising a great tournament. All of us had a fantastic time!"

Ollie Van Den Broek - FC Biermeisters (Amsterdam Fives, August 2009)

"We all had a superb time, the whole trip was organised at the highest standard, didn't even have to think about 1 think! Thanks a lot for a fantastic holiday - see you in Krakow! Paul."

Paul O'Neill - Pimp My Side FC (Prague Masters, July 2009)

"Hi Ian, Thanks for organising a great event, everyone of the lads who went had a great time due to the good nature of all the teams involved and the organisation being spot on from start to finish.  I would recommend this to anyone looking to add something different to a weekend away with the guys and most of us will probably look to enter a tournament in the future - hopefully a little less hungover next time!  Thanks again."

James Davis - Real Sociable Lads & Olympique de Johnny Lauren (Prague Masters, July 2009)

"Hi Ian, Thanks for a great time in prague, it was a great experience we will always remember."

Alex Kyulev, Lozenetz City, Bulgaria (Prague Masters, July 2009)

"What more can I say other then brilliant! The tournaments are well organised, fun, friendly, and set a high standard for such an event. The facilities and hotel were (and always have been) exceptional. It was great to take part and almost reclaim our trophy but hey, that's football! Losing in the final has made us hungrier to win and you can certainly expect us to be attending a lot more eurofootballfive tournaments in the foreseeable future. Thanks a lot guys"

Chris Williams - Goldsmith Williams (Prague Masters, July 2009)

"Even though we didn't win a game and we got sunburnt without much sun we still had a great day. I think the venue is perfect for the tournament. It's only 20 minutes from the centre, the facilities were great, the bar was spot on and there was a good friendly but competitive atmosphere between the teams. It was fun listening to everyone talking about their results and what it meant for qualification during the lunch time beer break (not an issue for my team!....

It's a great thing you guys are doing, I will definitely spread the word through Prague about this tournament and the others you put on)"

JNJ Global Services, Prague (Prague Masters, July 2009)

"Thanks very much for all of your work on the tournament and we all thought it was very well organised and the teams were of a similar standard which meant all the games were good contests. Staying at the Alfamar hotel was excellent with all of the facilities of the tournament on site and being near the beach was perfect. We will definitely consider booking with you again so once again thanks a lot."

Paul Gosling - Feltham Garrison (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"Hi Ian, the weekend in Algarve was fantastic. Thank you." Rahul Pansere, CSF Benfica (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"Ian, excellent tournament and stag weekend. "  James Nott, CSF Porto (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"Another successful tour under our belts and the CSF are looking onwards to winning 2 plates next time (that's all we know how to win). See you in Valencia."  Hitesh Joshi, CSF Porto (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"Cheers Ian, as in Amsterdam I can't fault anything with the Algarve Open. Excelently run, great facilities and a great place to hold a tournament. I think we benefitted from taking it a bit more seriously than some of the other teams! Was a good laugh though and played in great spirit. We had a cracking week of beaches, sun, beer and football.

We'll definitely be looking at continuing our unbeaten run in europe, I think the Barcelona tournament next June will probably be our target. I'll definitely be in touch in the near future."

James Batty - Olympic Phil Babb (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"Thanks from me for a great weekend - great organisation from you boys. I'm still not quite sure how me managed not to come bottom of our group (and indeed win our first plate match!?!).

Everyone throughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks again and cheers."

Will Monelle - Top Gun & Weasel (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"Gents, Just a quick note to congratulate you all on a magnificent tour!"

Stuart Barnes - Rolling Circus (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"This tournament was the most enjoyable and most efficiently run tournament we have ever participated in. From start to finish the professionalism was most apparent in the promptness and standards of all the amenities attached to the tournament. The awaiting transport from the airport and back again, and to and from the hotel to the tournament venue. The magnificent hotel and it's location and the organisation of the tournament through yourself and staff have to be commended.

All the players complimented the whole organisation of the tournament and said it was the best yet. You can definitely pencil us in for next year be it one or two teams depending upon work. The location of the hotel near the sea and the pool facilities within the hotel were major factors as far as we're concerned for it's success. Once again Ian, congratulations to you and all your staff. Well done."

Brendan Sheehan, Askeaton FC - Lucky Leprechauns and Shooting Shamrocks (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"The tournament was great, the best one we've been on so far. I'm pretty certain we'll be bringing back a sizeable contingent next year!"

Simon Pike - Cantona's Classicos, The Ruud Boys & Maniche's Mean Machine (Algarve Open, June 2009)

"Thanks again for organising the event. We all had a fantastic time both at the tournament and in Krakow - it's a great place. We all found the day was extremely well organised, the venue was perfect and the teams who attended all entered into the spirit of things. Great bunch of lads. We will definitely be doing another one.

(Re the post-tournament social) Saturday night was a bit of a blur, spoke to plenty of girls and were told by most of them it was a surprise to meet English guys in there and it would appear it's a local place and they go there to avoid drunk English blokes. Great club, really enjoyed it.

Cheers, Matt."

Matt Pell, Brighton & Hove Rockets - Krakow Trophy, April 2009

"Hi mate, just a quick email to say thanks again to you and Stu for another great weekend and a well organised competition.....you did us proud! See you in Prague, Scott."

Andrew Proctor, Bristol Bridge Supporters - Barca Fives, November 2008

"Cheers Gibbo - excellent tournament as always. Barcelona scraped a 1-1 draw with Getafe, I really enjoyed the experience."

"Gibbo,   I think it is fair to say that football was the winner however that would be a clear lie as it was Sangria, Tapas and Rioja that emerged victorious in Barcelona. What an excellent weekend! Roll on Portugal 09."

James Nott & Jas Gill, CSF -Barca Fives, November 2008

"Hello Ian, Fantastic recap of the Barca tournament - Thankyou. Looking forward to the next one, Daniel."

Daniel Finlay-Notman, DHL Prague - Barca Fives, November 2008

"The Prague Masters was an absolute credit to your organisation.  The teams haven't stopped talking about how fantastic it was since they have returned."

Derek Dundon, Askeaton FC (3 teams under different names) - Prague Masters, July 2008

"I and the rest of my team, had a wonderful weekend. We certainly intend to do something similar again next year."

Neill Fraser, Wafty Crankers - Prague Masters, July 2008

What I have to say about your tournament is all positive. The hotel was excellent all round with location, facilities and the staff were very helpful. The city of Prague itself is the nicest city that I have ever been in and I have been to nearly all the main capital cities of Europe but none would ever surpass Prague. The venue for the tournament itself was excellent and you will find it hard to better this anywhere. We thoroughly enjoyed the tournament and we thought the unity between the teams was excellent.

We think the reason your tournament was such a success is that you were present all through the tournament and were always on hand to sort out any issues or questions we may have had. We have all discussed your tournament since we came home and all 23 people that travelled have complimented you and we will certainly be travelling with you next year. From my wife Maria, myself and all of the rest of our party we thank you for a fantastic time and I will talk to you soon.

"Thanks very much for the great, friendly tournament you put on in the Netherlands. I'll never forget the spirit in which the whole competition was played and neither will my players. With an average age of just 19 my players had the time of their lives in Amsterdam, surely one of the most exciting cities on earth.

I feel certainwe'll be touring again next year, it's just a matter of deciding which venue to select."

Steve Lord, Comets Sports Club - Amsterdam Fives, July 2008

"Cracking write up Ian - nice one! And thanks for the tournament, we had a great time and are planning to do the Algarve next year."

Dan Andrews, Olympic Phil Babb - Amsterdam Fives, July 2008

"A massive thank you and well done for organising such an enjoyable experience in Amsterdam. It was good to see many of the teams mingle the night before over a few drinks which made the tournament all the more enjoyable. All in all, a very well organised weekend: the hotel, transfers and tournament were all on schedule with you on hand the whole time. I cant think of a better way to bring together a group holiday and footy! We enjoyed the trip very much and we'll be seeing you in the near future.."

Alan Arul, UK Football Finder - Amsterdam Fives, July 2008
