Stonewall Lions FC, representing England, thrashed Argentine
side Safgay FC 5-0 in the final at Leyton Orient's Matchroom
Stadium in London on Saturday.
This was the highest score ever recorded in the final since
1997, when the championship was first contested in Washington
DC
The tournament saw the participation of 40 teams from England,
United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Ireland , Iceland,
Denmark, South Africa, Czech Republic, Sweden, Japan and
Australia.
A delighted Stonewall player Doug Edward said: "We played with
pride and thoroughly deserved to win the title after winning seven
games to get to the final.
"It was a great experience to play at Leyton Orient and we hope
to take the success we had into our season in the Middlesex County
Football League."
Stonewall FC are also the current European, World, and Olympic
Games Champions, thus affirming England’s dominance in Gay
Football.
Many England football fans will be hoping that this success now
transfers over to the better known England national team, who have
failed to win a major honour for 42 years, and who kick off their
2010 World Cup qualifying campaign this Saturday against
Andorra.
