Over twenty of the U's first team were there, including captain Chris Porter and latest signing Elliot Parish, and they all signed various items the children had bought along.

Alex Wynter, who is the U's Football in the Community Ambassador, was pleased to see so many children on the week long course.
He said: "It was fantastic to get over and meet up with all the kids on the course and see so many of them enjoying themselves in the school holidays.
"There were some great questions asked and I hope that knowing what we had to do to get to where we are will encourage them to live healthy lives, whatever their football ability."
