FG5's 2016 Part II

So on to day 2 of the FG5's and this time it was the turn of Brandon's team and the Under 7's. We were missing two of our regular players (one of which was our goal keeper) and therefore I offered two new lads a chance to join us for the tournament, Oliver and Charlie. The two new boys did really well and the whole team were playing some good football. But it was just one of those frustrating days where despite playing good, the results were just not coming.

 

The first 4 matches were all close losses but out of the four of them, really we only deserved to lose one of them. In the final game I really got the boys fired up as I wanted them to at least come away with one win. Anyway they played their absolute socks off in the final game and gave me 200% pulling off a 3-1 win. So despite four losses the boys finished the tournament on a real high and were subsequently awarded their medals. What made the final game even more special wad that Lewis made a run down the wing and crossed a stunning ball in to the box where Brandon ran in and caught it on the volley to score a stunning goal. What a finish.

Meanwhile I am not sure what Tina and Holly were up to. I hope thats a football up her shrt, if not this is a real low even for an Essex girl!
