Dereham Success For Under 11a Team
The "A" Team boys took part in the Dereham 6-a-side tournament this weekend with the boys looking to carry on with their good results after winning the K&P Tournament 2 weeks before.
The teams were made up of...... in the Red Team were Rafael (Goalie for the day!!!) Dylan, Jack C, Lewis B, Callum, Ben G and Matty, and in the Green team Jordan, Jack M, Luke, Ben H, Spud and Zak who would have to manage all day with no sub.
The Red team were in a group with Wymondham, Hethersett, Firside Lads, Old Catton Pumas and Horsford Boys, and the Green side in wtih Dereham, Mattishall, Firsdie Boys, Old Catton Tigers and Horsford Lads. From their group the Red team came top winning 4 and drawing 1 with no goals against, and the Green Team coming 2nd winning 2 drawing 2 and a lose in their 1st game which once again set up an all rangers tie in the semi final, this resulted in a 2-0 win for the Greens.
In the final we played Firside lads, and to say we came up against an inspired goalkepper is no understatement!!! Time after time he stopped us taking the lead and at the end of normal and extra time in was still somehow goalless, so on to the dreaded penalties we went with the 6 players all taking one each..... and now was the time for Jordan to take centre stage and shine, he just missed the 1st Firside penalty but after that he was inspired and we went on to win 4-2 with a penatly to spare, so into the clubhouse for a celebratory cola!!
Great effort from both teams on the day who showed what good football they can play. The goals for the day were Zak x5, Lewis B x2, Matty x2, Callum x2, Spud x1, Ben H x1, and Luke x1.
