Football Futures Tournament 

On Thursday, the boys’ football team took part in the Football Futures

football tournament at Herne Bay Sports Hub. In a group that included Ethelbert Road, Lady Joanna and Upton, the boys managed a 1-0 win in their opening fixture against Ethelbert Road thanks to a goal from Edward. This was followed up by goalless draws in their next two fixtures meaning they finished second in the group and qualified for the Gold Cup.

In the quarter final the boys managed another 1-0 win against Hove thanks to another goal from Edward. In the semi-final, they were pitched against a strong Davington side that had qualified as the strongest team in the tournament. However, a very strong performance ensured they managed another 0-0 draw and the match went to penalties. Like many great England sides over the years, luck was not on their side and they lost the shootout 2-1. However, they can be incredibly proud of their efforts. Well done to all!
