Junior Lions away trip to Rotherham..

Play football, watch football, love football!!

The Junior Lions trip to Rotherham was a feast of football from start to finish!
After leaving the den at 7am, and stopping for breakfast at the services, the Junior Lions coach arrived at Millmoor, the home of Rotherham United FC. We were taken into the junior millers room, met a few old friends from last season and got changed. Millwall fielded two sides against the Rotherham juniors, Big Millwall and Little Millwall. Each played 3 games. Little Millwall won their first match 8-7, with some well taken goals from the little lions, they lost their second match 4-1 but ended with a 2-1 victory over Little Rotherham.
Big Millwall lost their first and second games 4-3 but dug deep and came out as 2-1 winners over big rotherham in their final game. After handshakes all around, lunch was served up by Rotherham for everybody, and then it was table football , computer games and sweeties until the stadium opened up for the Millwall V Rotherham league match. It was a poor game, so the less said about that the better! But a draw was a fair result and it didn’t rain so that was good. At full time everyone went back to the junior millers room and then we went to the sponsers lounge for a special treat- we were watching the England game!!

A few people went over to the kebab shop and took orders from everyone for dinner and then it was time for England V Turkey, a very important match.
There was a junior lions sweepstake on first scorer so that added to the fun and tension of the match, Dave won that- he picked out the nil-nil ticket.
England finished the game and had qualified for Euro 2004, which was met by cheers and dancing! Then on the way back we had a raffle, film and a well deserved sleep - a fantastic football day out!
