ππ¦ HORSFORD TOURNAMENT U12 GIRLS CHAMPIONS π¦π
What a day and weekend for our Foxes!
Today we stepped up and took on teams a year older than us in the Horsford Tournament. From the first whistle, it was clear this was going to be a battle. Some of the current U12 players looked absolute giants compared to our girls, but not once did that faze them. They rolled their sleeves up, got stuck in and gave absolutely everything for each other.
The group stage was incredibly tight, with just 2 points separating 1st and 4th place. Every game mattered and every player played their part in getting us through to the final. A fantastic achievement in itself against older opposition.
Then came a final that nobody there will forget.
Trailing 1-0 with the referee's whistle in his mouth ready for full time, Scarlett popped up with a dramatic equaliser. The roar from the parents, players and coaches was the loudest we've ever heard. Pure relief, excitement and belief all rolled into one moment.
Into extra time we went, and Holly delivered the winner! Another huge roar echoed around the pitch as our girls completed an incredible comeback.
We couldn't be prouder of this group. Their courage and never-say-die attitude were there for all to see. They showed the heart of absolute warriors today.
The experience they will gain from competing and succeeding against older teams is priceless, and if anything, it will only make the bond and team spirit within this group even stronger.
Evie came along to support the girls and somehow managed to sneak herself a winners medal without playing a single minute! π€£π
Before our girls had even kicked a ball, there was already success in the Costessey camp. Coach Kelly and her Costessey Ladies teammates got the day off to the perfect start by winning their tournament in the morning. β€οΈ
A day we'll remember for a long, long time.
