As part of the trips to Feira for the development of our players and teams, various local Clubs have been very accommodating to arrange games for us in their sports centres.

One of these clubs is ACR Gulpilhares

As part of our gratitude for this, I presented a plaque to the Coaching Director, Fernando Almeida, representing the President.

As well as arranging games for us, two of their Management Staff were given permission by the club to be part of Carlos Amaral's Management Team for our Under 17's during the European Championships 2010.

Therefore, at the same time I presented framed certificates to Pedro Lourenco, physiotherapist and Carlos Pereira, statistician.

Another Club who have been helping us since the Protocol was originally signed is AD Sanjoanense

As part of our gratitude for this, Kirsty Ingham, Marketing Director for the National Roller Hockey Association of England, presented a plaque to a Director of the Club.

In conclusion, I would like to express, on behalf of Parents, Players, Coaches and the National Roller Hockey Association of England our deepest thanks to all those who have made these trips possible, for the friendships that have been made over the years and for the continuing support of our development plan.
