Foundation College prepare for USA trip with Sturridge Academy win
LFC Foundation College U19s ran out 2-0 winners in a closely fought contest against the Daniel Sturridge Academy last Friday.
David Makuch and top goalscorer Elliot Nevitt were on target for the young Reds as they put in the ideal preparation for the forthcoming Dallas Cup youth international football tournament.
Both teams were buoyed by Sturridge's support at the game, with the striker chatting to the players and wishing them good luck for their trip to the States.
