The 2018 Mallorca Veterans Tournament saw a particularly successful day for Bure Park Seniors. They won Group A with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Their good form continued into the knock-out phase where they won their Cup Semi-Final 1-0 over Epsom Ath. They ran out of legs in the final though as they slipped to a 3-0 defeat to Policia Local de Palma.

They started off with a loss albeit a slender 1-0 one to high quality opposition. Could they bounce back against the journalists?

It was the Hungarian Journalists NT that got off to fast start in this game. Peter Nagy scored twice in the first half to put his side in the ascendency. Bure Park Seniors job got that bit tougher after the break when Csaba Torocszkay extended that lead to 3-0 which was how we finished.

They became the first team to represent Scotland in the Veterans category of our tournaments at the 2017 Lisbon Veterans Tournament. They produced 1 win and 1 draw from their group games which included the biggest win of the tournament (7-1). It was not quite enough to lift them into the Plate qualification places as they finished in fifth position.
