The Bridgnorth Spartans U17 team travelled to Schrobenhausen in Bavaria at the weekend as part of the 30-year celebrations to mark the twinning of the Shropshire market town with the German city.
While in Germany, the Spartans faced off against SV Stiengriff U19 in a thrilling encounter that resulted in a 1-1 draw.
The squad's coach, Damien Williams, said the trip had been "an adventure of a lifetime" with many of the boys who visited Shrobenhausen having missed out on school trips during the Covid crisis.
