As an FA Charter Standard Club we were offered discounted tickets for the Under 19s England v Turkey friendly held at Doncaster Rovers new Keepmoat Stadium on Wednesday 21st March 2007.
The take up of tickets far exceeded expectations and we ended up taking 191 players and their parents.
In recognition of the numbers going the Club arranged with the FA for six of our players to carry the two nations flags on to the pitch and below are a selection of the photographs taken by the parents.
(Note if you have any other photographs from the night please forward them to the club and we will add them to this page).
As lots of the players going wanted to carry the flags the club asked the girls from Birks Holt who the previous Saturday were playing our Girls under 12s team to draw the names out and the six lucky players selected were Lewis Boot, Reece Gallagher, James Holmes, Callum Warnes, Tom Bristow and Ryan Stringer.
It was fantastic, the lads all got a booty bag, which contained a disposable camera, wallet, keyring, pen , flag, and program, but they did not get to wear their Falcons gear, but were given oversized England tops, tracksuit bottoms , and rainproofs , that they had to return at half time, all in all my little lot had a great time.

All my lads loved it (under 9s & under 10s) good atmosphere made to feel very welcome by staff for flag barring - the lads were so proud.
Lewis had photos shown in school assembly on over head so all school could see so thanks for a great night.
