#shoutout to our U9 Red Team who finished runners-up in yesterday’s Faygate Youth FC Tournament. Coach Rachel said: “They had a rocky start in their first 4 group games and it was looking unlikely that they were going to make it out of the group into the semi-finals.In their last 2 group games, they played with determination, playing as a team and getting the ball across the pitch which resulted in getting enough points to finish at the top of the group and earning themselves a place in the semi-finals. The final saw a small defeat but they tried hard to play in hot conditions. Well done to the winners, Hurstpierpoint Colts.” maidenbowercoltsfc #maidenbower #since1998 #grassrootsfootball #youthfootball #proudtobecolts #footballfamily #tournamentFootball

Last weekend they won their League Cup Final. This weekend they won the U9 Three Bridges Tournament! Coach Keith said:“In warm conditions, we set about our group games in strong fashion after an opening win. 5 pts after 3 group games left us needing 2 wins to qualify from the group. The Players dug in and got the job done.In the semi-final, we played a strong opposition, but we dominated and got the goal to take us to the final. “FINAL” With nerves kicking in the Players found another level and we won the game. So proud of the team again. The team spirit of this group of Players is amazing.” maidenbowercoltsfc #since1998 #grassrootsfootball #footballfamily #tournament #proudtobecolts

Huge congratulations to our U9 Red team who won the U9 Crawley & District Youth Football League Knock Out Cup Final today. They got off to a slow start but finally picked up some pace towards to end of the first half, working together as a team to pass the ball up the pitch before getting it into the goal.The team had a rocky start to the season whilst re-establishing themselves as a team and had a drop in confidence before their cup games started but they quickly turned it around, winning all of their cup games to secure a place in the semi-finals and securing a place in today’s final.They regained their confidence, learned to believe in themselves, and believe in each other which has contributed to the teamwork we have seen over the last couple of months. We are beyond proud of them and can’t wait to see what they achieve next season. Well done to the opposition team, who were worthy finalists, for making it to the finals and giving us a good game as always. Best of luck to them for next season. maidenbowercoltsfc #since1998 #grassrootsfootball #FootballFamily #proudtobecolts #cupfinal #trophy
