The main attraction on the last day, which saw Russia beat Holland in the Under-8s final and France seeing off Spain in the Over-8s, was an appearance by Jordan Robertson and Kyle Naughton.
They answered questions about their training programmes, how they came to be in football and their likes and dislikes.
Naughton also described how he felt about scoring his first senior goal, in the Carling Cup win over Huddersfield. last month
Naughton said: "It is great for kids to be able to play during the holidays and improve their skills. You never know, they may just be good enough to get noticed.
As a local lad, I am really pleased to be able to support events like these."
