Town’s U17s finished seventh at the Voskescup tournament which was hosted by Belgian club SC Lokeren this weekend. Midfielder Byron Lawrence, who made his senior debut on the final day of the 2011/12 campaign, top scored for the Blues with four goals.
After ending Saturday joint-second in their group having been unbeaten after one win and two draws, the young Blues completed their group games with a 1-1 draw with AA Gent this morning, Lawrence scoring from the penalty spot.
They needed to beat eventual winners K Sint Truidense to reach the final but lost 2-1 - Lawrence again netting - and ended up fourth in their group of five.

The VSU baseball team swept rival West Georgia in the last homestand of the season and looks to extend their winning streak against Christian Brothers this weekend.
VSU has pulled off six straight victories in response to dropping the previous six straight games. In what VSU baseball coach Greg Guilliams called a “season of streaks,” VSU now stands 18-11 in the Gulf South Conference and 20-12 overall.
VSU was able to end senior day festivities with a win thanks to a freshman: catcher Jacob Harper. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth and VSU down to their last out, Harper hit a walk-off single into right field that drove home Collin Teegarden and secured a win for game one.

Smoke filled the air as a Blackberry Township house burned to the ground on Tuesday, but there was no need to call 911.
The house, located at 27213 County Road 91, was donated to the Grand Rapids Fire Department, and used in a live burn training exercise.
Live burn training presents a rare opportunity for the fire department to practice fire suppression techniques in a controlled environment. Fire Chief Travis Cole said live burns are the most realistic training scenario his department can participate in.
âTheyâre a great asset and very valuable when we can get them,â Cole said
These training exercises only occur when a house or structure is donated to the department for burning. When a house is donated, hazardous materials are removed from the structure and proper permits are secured from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Department of Natural Resources.
