Cerrado del Aguila Sports Club facilities are second to none according to WFS organiser Joe McKelvey, the playing surface is excellent and the pitch size perfect, but there is an added bonus with the catering facilities providing very welcome cool beers after playing in 32º heat.

Finca Naundrup saw Smiles resume their pre-season build up with a friendly against local rivals The Walking Dead.

Martin Tigue, ‘the Dead’ manager prefers to play their warm up matches in July rather than the heat of August, although it will mean they will go into the new season on September 5 lacking match practice.

Smiles Over 50’s and 60’s teams recorded 2-1 and 3-1 wins respectively against their other local rivals WFS Calahonda.
