Falmouth Community Youth Football Club hosted their first ever "Euronics Girls Tournament" on Sunday 11th June. This took place on the 3G and grass pitches at Falmouth School and was free to all the girls thanks to the funding given.

The community group coaches young people from the ages of 5 years to 16 years and provides a friendly and supportive environment for all.

65 girls attended the day which consisted of fun training, matches, and a penalty shootout against their coaches. There were 10 coaches supporting the girls, led by the Girls' Representative for the club Andrew Jenkin who also organised the day. Certificates and sweets were given out to the girls for their achievements.

Funding was made available to the girls from Euronics / Cornwall Appliances and a cheque for £1,000 was presented to the club by Matt Charman in February 2023. The money has been spent on coaching qualifications for 2 coaches, goals, footballs, and the tournament.
