Our final game was against Woodbridge B. It was another evenly matched game. They scored in the first half with a low shot past Sam. At half time Ollie, who was feeling the effects of the heat took over in goals. All of our players continued to battle hard and there were very few chances created for either team.
For the tournament the referees were supposed to be playing normal rules. Unfortunately there was also a 5 a side tournament going on and the refs were playing a mixture of the two sets of rules. This led to Ollie kicking the ball from outside his box and conceding a penalty. (Mark has asked me to point out that he was aware of this rule and explained it fully to our goalkeeper. Sam!! Unfortunately Ollie was not told off the rule as he wasn't supposed to go back in goals. A simple oversight.)
The penalty taker hit an excellent well placed penalty. Ollie made an even better save!!! The game eventually finished 1-0 to Woodbridge.
Overall We played 5. Won 1, Drew 1 and lost 3. We still ended up with a plus 2 goal difference. The games we lost were all by the slightest of margins. A good days football all round.
I think all of the players can be very proud of their performances and I'm looking forward to the next tournament already. Just as soon as my sun-burn stops peeling!!!

All ready for the last game of the day.

And they're off.

I'm sure there a couple of people in the crowd actually watching the game. At last!!
