Displaying just some of the trophies that can be won at this year's Sharon Wood Memorial seven-a-side mini soccer tournament are Roger Cleave (pictured left), tournament organiser and president of Wendron Football Club, and Bruce Taylor, marketing and public relations manager of Miller Countrywide Estate Agents who are one of the principal sponsors for the tournament.

The competition takes place at Wendron's Underlane ground on Sunday, July 17, and has already attracted entries from over 100 teams involving nearly 1,000 players from clubs as far afield as Gloucester and throughout Devon and Cornwall. It has become one of the largest one-day mini-soccer tournaments in the West Country.

Bruce Taylor for Miller Countrywide Estate Agents, said that the company was delighted to be involved: "with 30 Agency Offices and Specialist Departments throughout Cornwall and Devon, we are as a company continually striving to put something back into the local community and we are privileged once again to be associated with this tournament.

"Although only in it's fifth year, the tournament has gained much recognition within the mini soccer world and has raised many thousands of pounds for charity. Every credit should be given to Roger and his team at Wendron for the way the tournament has developed to become such an outstanding success."
