U13 Bristol and West Junior Tournament - Winners!

 

Our U13s, who entered two teams in the Bristol & West tournament, a younger ‘B’ Team who played great with many of them it being their first competitive tournament experience, losing two matches vs Bristol and then Cheltenham but drawing 4-4 in a great game vs Taunton.

 

Our older U13 ‘A’ Team went on to win all their matches and take the gold medal beating Cheltenham, Bristol, Newton Abbot… and then Weymouth and Portland in an epic final game finishing 2-2 to then go on to penalties / sudden death penalties (30 in total!), with Jamie Cole our keeper making some crucial saves and Jenson Rowe slotting home the winning shot.

 

‘A’ Team Player of the Tournament went to Jamie Cole for being a penalty shoot-out legend and for his fantastic passing out and distribution.

 

‘A’ Team joint Most improved went to Marley Hurst & Amelia Goodfellow as both had terrific work rates and made some impressive steals in defence.

 

‘B’ Team Player of the Tournament went to Mya Pearson for her excellent performances in goal, making some brilliant saves.

 

‘B’ Team most improved went to Ava Parish, as she improved as the day went on and her superb defending in the last game.

 

Some great performances from all the kids on both teams.  WELL DONE ALL!

 

A massive thank you to Mike Coles from Bristol & West for organising a great tournament and all the Table officials and Refs for giving up their time.

 

Thank you to our coaches Ben & Chris and Jane & Pippa for team managing.
