THREE teams from Salisbury United returned from a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Barcelona.

The under 8s, 9s and 11s played on a mixture of Barca's training pitches, B team's stadium and the famous Nou Camp.

The under 11s won all five of their games, including a tense semi-final against Barcelona Soccer School, to finish as champions. They were also invited to compete in a Spanish tournament where they played the likes of La Liga team Espanyol.

The under 8s won the plate competition while the under 9s bowed out with a 1-0 win after two defeats and as many draws.

Chairman Perry Cocking said: "A great experience for everyone involved and something the children will remember forever."
