Girls in Daventry tournament success!!
Next seasons U16 team won this year’s U15 six a side tournament at Daventry on Sunday 21 July with the icing on the cake being that we had two teams in the final playing each other!!
A hot day but the cool under the collars girls strode though the group stages and into the Quarter finals with the ‘blue and red’ teams both progressing, the blue team via penalties
Onto the semis and luck kept the girls apart and again fortune favoured us and both teams pulled off great results to make it in the final, this time with the ‘red’ team winning their penalty shootout to set up an all Coventry City Girls Final, a great achievement.
A hard fought scrap endured in the final with both teams going hammer and tongs for the bragging rights but played in an excellent spirit the game finished in a draw and extra time was required with a ‘golden goal’ or penalties coming into play.
We never got as far as penalties with a Lucy McGuinness golden goal winning the game and tournament, so the ‘blue’ team finished victorious but the ‘reds’ can stand tall and be very proud of what they achieved being a player down when Ellie could not make it due to illness and also not playing with a recognised goalkeeper, a tremendous effort.
A great effort from both sides and plenty of praise coming from opposition teams and from our travelling band of parents for the way both teams performed made for a great day for all of the girls who were a credit to themselves and the club.
Well played to both sets of girls – made my day whilst away!!!
Many thanks to our parents for their support and time and a special thanks to Damo Morgan and Jordan Wylds for running their respective teams so well.
Special Mention to Nat Aitken who suffered a blow to the head in the semi-final but somehow managed to play in the final and was admitted to Hospital with delayed concussion after the tournament – a committed girl!!
