They were accompanied by six adults. From Hollyhead they traveled to Liverpool where they beat a Liverpool Club, Whiston Juniors by 6 – 0. The next day they trained at the Manchester City Youth Academy under Manchester City coaches. They all enjoyed the experience very much. Later they attended the premiership game between Manchester City and Arsenal. They were seated behind the Manchester City goal for the first half.
