fairly cold start to the morning with barely anytime to warm up the boys played Derby B team. with a few good saves from David Spooner the boys were unlucky to loose 3-0 to a team that had already warmed and organised well. a few unlcuky chances from Travis and Steven left us with a 3 goal defecit.
game 2 - South Leicster B

- Travis
- Steven
- Daniel
- Andrew

- The boys played their absolute socks off in this game, however were unlcuky to be faced by a team of whom had barely any special needs players. the match was very unfair with leicster fielding a few boys who could have quite easily been close to county standards. the boys never stood a chance from the beginning and took a bad defeat 8-0. However the lads refused to give up and carried on playing right up until the whistle. overall the boys didnt deserve to play against lads of such a high standard and get a defeat like that.

After taking a good beating to the South Leicster team the boys was not looking forwards to the next game. some lads did not want to go on the pitch due to the humiliation they had just faced. After some convincing the lads went on and after pinching a early goal their heads was once again raised and eady to put up a good battle. A few minutes after scoring the first goal derby brought a goal back. Undeterred the boys carried on to play the football they are capable of. all the boys came close to scoring goal Travis managed to get his hatrick. however unhappy with this went on to get another. steven also managed to score a cracking goal late on in the game. Stefan, who had been so disheartened from the first also managed to raise his spirits by scoring to brilliant goals. The result finished 7-3 and was a great boost from the previous game.

Loughborough was a very well even matched to our team. for most of the match the lads held on with good chances being narrowly missed at either ends. some cracking saves from David kept us in the match. With a near miss from Travis the Loughborough team ran the ball up the pitch in the last few moments of the match to score the winning goal. the boys were very unlucky to loose this match and played excellent.
Game 5 - Moulton college
starting line up
- Matt
- David
- Stefan
- Daniel
- Andrew
- Travis
The last game of the tournament and the boys were freezing this point. with spirits low from a few previous unlucky defeats and a injured James the team went on the give one last effort. The Moulton College had one key player who seemed to dominate the match for them. however the boys put up a resiliant fight against them and gave them a good contest. The boys let in a early goal and let their heads drop a little. James battled on and came as a subsitute to try and resolve the score. in the last few minuted Moulton College scored another couple of gaol to make the score 3-0.
overall the lads had a great learning experience and was very unlucky to loose to some of the teams that we played. The boys had a great experience. The man of the torunament had to be Travis who put in a fantastic performance in every single match. Well played lads!!!
