U11s Win Leighton Park Tournament
The Daneshill under 11s had their first football tournament of the season at Leighton Park on Saturday 3rd October. The boys started very well and managed to progress at the top of their group after victories against Oakley Junior (1-0) and Downs Way (3-0), and a hard earned draw against St George’s (1-1).
In the semi final they faced Oakley school again. After some strong and committed defending by Sean Neale in particular they were able to play their passing football and finished the game 2 nil winners.
In the final they met St George’s with both teams starting well. St George’s keeper pulled off two great saves at the feet of Ollie Donaldson to keep them in the game and see them through to extra time. After extra time the sides were still unable to break the deadlock and both teams were awarded the trophy.
Well done the Under 11s and a big thank you to Mr. House for his coaching and all the parents who came to support.
