15 May 2020

A Doncaster Kicks participant scooped a top-three finish while representing Doncaster Rovers in the ePremier League Cup.

Ben, an attendee at Doncaster Kicks for two years, finished third out of 330 players from teams up and down the country.

Ben said: "I really enjoyed representing Doncaster Rovers in the FIFA Premier League Stay at Home tournament.

"I am a big Rovers fan, and being able to play with Doncaster Rovers against other players who were using other teams was a wonderful opportunity and a great experience."

The ePremier League StayAtHome Cup gives young people an opportunity to enjoy some competitive action while football is on hold.

Ben qualified for the 13-15 year-old Playstation bracket, which was ultimately won by a representative of Liverpool FC.

He added: "I actually beat a lot of Premier League teams along the way, and that too was a great feeling!"

Ben will be presented with a signed Rovers shirt as a well done for his efforts.

Kicks is a collection of free sporting sessions in Doncaster, allowing children and young people aged 8-18 across the borough the opportunity to try free football and dance and sessions right on their doorstep.
