“We will be taking part in the Football Cup Barcelona tournament, held in Salou.

“Our team is managed by Robbie Raeside, the former Dundee and Raith defender, and supported by other volunteer coaches and, more widely, by all parents.

“We have entered two teams in the competition and named ourselves Monifieth Athletic Rhinos and Kickers.

“The event has a total of 108 teams of different age groups entering and competing from all over the world.

“We have 28 teams in our own age group competing.

“This trip will provide our team with a positive lifelong memory.”
