FOOTBALL: The North London-based Dodo Club represented England on a recent trip to France.

The club fielded two adult teams and a junior side in the friendly tournament at Lillebonne FC.

The Dodo Club adult teams contained players from the age of 17 to 60, while the juniors were aged between seven and 12.

Faz Hyda, Dodo Club chairman and founder, said: "The town of Lillebonne made us feel so welcome. We are privileged to have been invited to play in their stadium and are grateful for all the efforts that went into organising the event. The trip allowed us and our families to experience the French culture and forge new relationships which will bring huge benefits for the club."

Lillebonne and its mayor were so impressed with the UK team and its ethos, it is now planning to launch a French subsidiary of the Dodo Club in the region. Both teams will work together to advance and expand the club internationally.

This is the third trip abroad for the Dodo Club, after twinning with the French town of Coquelles two years ago. A trip to Germany is planned next year.

The Dodo Club was founded in 1989. The club's ethos of football, family and friendship underpins all of its activities.
