U12 & U11 teams played over the 27 & 28 May weekend at the annual Denham tournament. The standard of girls football overall was really high across the tournament…..venturing into London past the M25 means teams (in other age groups) included youth teams from QPR, Arsenal and other London areas. Indeed the U12 winners came down from Cambridge.

The U12s played 5, won 3 and lost 2, missing out on a quarter final place by one goal difference only. Ironically a team we beat in the pool made the final! It was a great learning experience for the squad on the day. Some of the U12s then supported the U10s in the afternoon and enjoyed the onsite BBQ.

The U11s won 4 pool matches and lost 2. In the QF they went a goal down but came back with resilience (and some of the skills Coach Andy had trained on the Friday night) to win 2-1. They lost the SF 1-0 and were really proud of their attitude, commitment and the fun had on the day. Plus the cakes and strawberries and cream

Over both age groups (U12 and U11) overall there were goals galore from Emily McMaster (14), Lily Gibson (3), Sofia Lacey (1) and Charlie Potter bagged 2 goals on her club debut, including one spectacular one. Welcome to the team Charlie! Goal Keepers Matilda, Sofia and Emily (McM)  did a great job overall with 7 clean sheet games and overall defence was solid with only 7 goals conceded over both the U11 and U12 tournaments. A great achievement with such high standard players there …we’ll be back for a brilliantly organised and well refereed tournament next year. Thanks to parents for all the support…

PS And Fulham won on the Saturday at Wembley …. 🙂 …Sarah
