Kronenbourg Cup

The Kronenbourg Cup is the English leg of the European Beach Soccer competition, and returned to Brighton this year.

We saw 2 proper matches (as well as an exhibiton match). The first match was Portugal v Italy (Italy won on sudden death penalties), and the second was France v England (France won 7 - 5).

I'd never seen Beach Soccer before but it was a really fast moving and entertaining game and something that I hope to get the chance to see again.
