U11 Football v Richmond House Wednesday 7th October 2009
It was a group style tournament, and in our group we had the other schools of Richmond House (A), Frobelian and Highfield.The first game that we played was against Highfield. This was a really close game in which we came out on top by winning 2-1.
It was a very good start to the tournament and gave the whole team a confidence boost.The second game was against Richmond House (A) team. After another hard fought game which was even closer than the first game we won again. Both teams played some really good football and the difference was only 1 goal. With Robert keeping a clean sheet with
some very good saves to help us win the second game in a row! To guarantee winning the group and getting to the semi finals we needed to win our last game. With this being the third straight game that the boys had played some were starting to get tired. Fortunately we took an early lead and then quickly scored two more goals! By half time it was 3-0. With this score it allowed Mr Andrews to make lots of substitutions so that all boys were rested for the next round. In the second half concentration was low to start and they got a goal back, but we responded again and scored. The final score being 4-1.
Through to the semi final after finishing top of our group was a great feeling for the whole team. We were to be playing against Westville School. Another really close game followed. Our boys running their socks off playing in the fourth straight game of the tournament. We took a deserved lead but couldn’t hold it for long until they equalised. Tom Lyons scored the winning goal with not long left on the clock. We hung on for the last few minutes to get through to the final!!!
Before the final we managed to have a few minutes rest as it was to be the 5th straight game!! We were up against Highfield. The first half was rather one sided and Highfield were on top throughout the half finishing 2-0. It could have been more but for some good last ditch defending and goalkeeping from Robert, Ed and Hugo. For the second half we started so well creating lots of goal scoring chances. Unfortunately Highfields’ defence was very strong and they managed to get blocks in on our shots or the ball went just wide. We all, by the end of the game felt that we deserved to get at least one goal back if not two, as we were the better side in the second half. The game finished 2-0. Although we lost we played some very good football throughout the tournament and are very pleased to have played in the final. All the players received medals for their hard work and success. Special mentions go to the whole team for an extremely good tournament in which we played very well! Hopefully we can go one step better in the next tournament!!

Then Euan Brennan scored the equaliser, by half time.The second half was tough and one of their players scored a hat trick taking the score to 3-2 to them. George Ward kicked it down the wing to me and I tried to keep it but went out for a throw in they got another goal. Unfortunately we gave away a penalty and they scored the wining goal. The final whistle went. The final score was 5-2 to Brackenfield. We played well but they were to tough.
Special mentions go to the whole team for playing their best. George Beeley
