UNBEATEN YOUNGSTERS SEE OFF CELTIC United make impression in Dubai...
United in Dubai
The Leeds United representative team in Dubai made a big impression on the opening day of our involvement in the Emirates Airlines Dubai Sevens on Friday.
The day started with a 1-1 draw against AC Milan before Glasgow Celtic were beaten 4-1 in the second group game.
The final game of the day produced a 1-1 draw with Danish side Brondby and the young United side have progressed through to the KO stages of the tournament after finishing top of the group.
Academy manager Neil Thompson, under-18s coach Neil Redfearn, and technical director Gwyn Williams, have travelled with the party, and Thompson says the trip so-far has been both productive and enjoyable.
"It's been great so far," said Neil.
"The facilities here are terrific and we trained a couple of times before Friday in very hot conditions.
"The standard is good and after drawing with Milan this morning we played really well against Celtic in the afternoon.
"It was the hottest part of the day - 33 degrees - but the boys did well and we've done well so far."
