Woodcoombe under 11's

Woodcoombe under 11's entered two teams in to the Lordswood Youth Tournament six-a-side competition on Sunday 1st June. Although one of the teams entered were not successful in qualifying in their group, the other team ended top of their group by winning 4 games and drawing one. This resulted in a semi-final match against the event organisers Lordswood, which the Woodcoombe team won 2-0. The final was between Woodcoombe and Riverview, the only team to score a goal against us in the qualifying round resulting in a 1-1 draw. The final saw Woodcoombe take the lead and hold the one goal advantage till the half-time whistle. However, Riverview came out in the second half fighting and were almost instantly rewarded with an equaliser, before netting again to go 2-1 ahead. Woodcoombe equalised before the end of full-time which resulted in a 5 minute period of extra time. Riverview were first to score before Woodcoombe again equalised in the final moments of the game. The result was a tense penalty shoot-out, which Woodcoombe won 3-2.

An excellent team performance and a well deserved tournament win!
