Millwall Community Trust hosted the annual - and another successful - Jimmy Mizen Cup tournament sponsored by Wiggett Group on Thursday morning.
Played in memory of Jimmy, and ahead of Community Day, which takes place at The Den this Saturday as The Lions take on Blackburn Rovers, six teams were involved in the Lions Centre, with Holy Trinity Primary School winning the competition.
Each school played in a round robin Group Stage, before a sixth and fifth-place Play-Off, and a fourth and third-place Play-Off was played, with the Final being won by Holy Trinity Primary School 4-1.
All the teams will be welcomed pitchside on Saturday on Community Day for a group photo.
Sean Daly, MCT CEO said: “It was another great Jimmy Mizen tournament at the MCT.
"Thank you to all the schools that participated and congratulations to Holy Trinity Primary School for winning the competition.
“We are really looking forward to seeing everyone at our Community Day match, where all the children will be taken on the pitch prior to kick-off.
"Finally, it was great to see Margaret and Barry Mizen and it’s always a pleasure to welcome them to The Lions Centre.”
Margaret and Barry Mizen added: “It’s great to be back here again for the Jimmy Mizen Cup to see local school children having a really good time.
“It’s such a pleasure for us and we’re so proud of what the club and trust do for us.
“We’re so proud to be here and the fact it’s in Jimmy’s name and what we saw today was young people really working together, teamwork, having fun and that’s what life is about.
“I’m looking forward to Saturday, it showcases this club for the true family football club it is.
“The charity we run, we have a message of forgiveness, peace and hope and these are the young people that will take this message out in the future.
“The young people going on the pitch is something they’re going to remember for the rest of their lives, it’ll be very special for them.”
