Futsal Cup of Nations - One long weekend of Futsal. 22nd-25th June- 2009

I was recently lucky enough to be asked by the FA to travel to Lagoa in the Algarve, Portugal. This was to referee at the Women's Futsal Cup of Nations, which involved Teams from around the world including Brazil (pro's), Spain (pro's), Portugal (Pro's), Russia, Japan and Iran (National team). The tournament was of a high international standard and was a successful, well organised event and was assured it would be an eye opener.

            Myself and my two colleagues from the National list met with the other officials from Portugal, Iran, Japan, and Chile. This was somewhat difficult to begin with because of the language barrier but with time we got round that. We refereed with our own colleagues and other nationalities, so not only where you presented with two foreign speaking teams, but also a foreign colleague as well, a challenge for any individual taking on this role of referee this brought out other communication skills that enhanced your ability to referee well. Body language, signalling, whistle tone, extra eye to eye contact with referee's and correct and efficient application of FUTSAL law. This was done in such a way that there was minimal confusion among the players, coaches and spectators who all just want to play or watch Futsal played at its best.

Adding to this, the local and national press where very interested in the tournament and had a high presence around the venues, recording the games on camera, sending them out live on internet, interviewing players and coaches and highlights for their national news channel.

 The venues where all seated arenas which where full to capacity to watch these games. The atmosphere with the supporters' noise and energy added to the games and was a great experience to witness such enthusiasm for the game.

            The Brazilian met the Portuguese in the final with Brazil winning 4-2 adding another Cup of Nations to the merit list. The game was watched on by a packed arena and was a great spectacle. These two teams would give any of our men's teams a lesson or two. Highly skilful and tactically aware.

The tournament was played in a very competitive spirit but everyone was very friendly. With out doubt one of the best experiences I have had refereeing the game so far.

Grimsby 10 Sheffield FC Futsal Club 10
Written by Kevin Bryant

2009_shane_garvey_web.jpg

Nothing I can write can describe the emotions this game threw at me.  On face value 20 goals describes a game in which neither team had a goal keeper or knew how to defend.  This was not the scenario; both teams knew how to defend and had excellent keepers.

Sheffield sat Grimsby back in the opening 5 minutes, only to be undone by a Peter Herriman wonder goal - when he received the ball on the edge of the Sheffield area he was marked, in a movement that should be on ‘you tube' he rolled the ball over his opponents out stretched legs - changed the ball to his opposite foot in the same motion - curling the ball into the keepers net whilst sending him wrong way in the process.  You expect such things at Old Trafford, but not from Grimsby Futsal.

The game from that moment to half time mirrored the previous Leeds game, 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, 3-3, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5. Why can't we hold a lead for 2 minutes?  I (the team) have to rectify this problem.

 

 

2 goal debutant Shane Garvey

 

3 minutes remaining and 10-7 left I called a time out; ‘keep the ball,' watch the clock,' run the clock down.'  During the same time out Sheffield, with nothing to lose, withdraw their keeper, to play an outfielder as a ‘flyer' keeper.  A tactic that historically we have found hard to counter, first attack they score, 1 minute later it's 10-9, Sheffield are calling all the shoots, 30 seconds left 10-10.

As though written for a story book there was one last twist; Grimsby is awarded a penalty with 8 seconds remaining on the clock.  Danny Durrosimo, the player fouled, stepped up to the plate.  What odds Danny from 6 meters against a non specialist keeper (95-1)?  The ball hits the keeper and rolls wide.

A draw was a fair result in a game we had won and could have lost.  What drama; when asked to sign the team sheet my hand was shaking.

Every player was brilliant, as a group they set a new standard for Grimsby Futsal.  This game was fast, it was intense, it demanded players with football brains and technique to match, every player was up to task.  The pleasing thing for me as manager is that all the players are aware that the team has potential to improve, we need to add set plays at corners and free kicks, we need to stop conceding goals from wide areas, we need a team tactic to counter the ‘flier GK'.

Danny Durrosimo scored 3, Shane Garvey 2, Paul Herriman 1, Daniel Hornigold 2, and Mathew Payne 2.  All 10 goals had a quality stamp on them; Shane Garvey should probably be credited with an extra point for an ‘unstoppable' gaol line clearance.

Grimsby are competitive with all the FA North opposition, the squad is loaded with potential, watch this space.

What a week and we have only played 2 days!!
Written by Kevin Bryant

The Grimsby Futsal League saw one of the best games on Tuesday 23rd June as Young's who are at present top of the Monday League travelled to Kent Street to play top of the Tuesday Kent Street League "Kent Street".


Young's have traditionally not played well on Kent Street due to its size but this game was the exception. Kent Street took an early lead with some good play, Young's equalised shortly after which sparked a good spell adding two more to the tally. Kent Street responded well pegging the score back level to 3-3. Young's then added a fourth, which saw something that is very rare in Futsal Kent Street levelled straight from the kick off with a beautiful finish into the top corner. Young's then did one better going ahead from their own kick off with Jon-jo finding the bottom corner. So in the space of about 3 minutes we saw 3 goals. With the score at 5-4 to Young's, Kent Street then upped the tempo adding two more to take the lead 6-5. Young's also responded well and equalised with some good passing. At the score 6-6 it looked like both teams had run out of steam but yet again Kent Street raised their game and took the lead with about 5 minutes of the game remaining. Young's somehow found some energy and found an equaliser in the games dying moments to take the tie to penalties.

As always penos are always a gamble, Young's duly dispatched all theirs with Kent Street having one saved by keeper Dale Spalding and hitting the crossbar on another. Congratulation goes to Young's for a very hard fought victory and commiserations to a very adept Kent Street side. Worth mentioning, is the superb performance from Young's player Jon-Jo scoring 5 of Young's 7 goals.

Futsal Super Saturday Disapointment
Written by Kevin Bryant

Grimsby vs. BBS Couriors

Teams shake hands before game.

 

Changed the header, Super Saturday now reads Super Saturday disappointment!

The tournament was revamped from 2 groups of 3 teams to 1 group of 5 after Teesside failed to make the venue. Straightforward for the organisers but inconsiderate for 2 of the Grimsby players who missed the first game as their travel plans had been for a first game 11.45 kick off!

Everything started brightly for Grimsby Futsal, Herriman scored a brilliant opener to put us 1-0 vs. Manchester. At this point we were playing excellent futsal and looked a tournament threat. Even after Manchester went 1-1 we had the game's best chances; Manchester was always a danger from their limited chances and we paid the price 1-2.

Next game BBS Couriers vs. Grimsby Futsal.  Both teams needed to win.  BBS always had the lead until a free 10 metre shot for accumulated fouls, or should I say fouls on Josh Parry.  Leigh Graves (GK) netted with time out on the clock. 3-3

Next up Sheffield, patchy performance team never moved fluently, the passing and movement was ‘Mundail.'  3 new team faces in the squad did not help cohesion; the team was unable to think on its feet.  1-3

The last game all eyes was on Grimsby vs. Dengo. The result would effect if Manchester or Dengo qualified.  Grimsby decided on playing full game with a ‘fly' goal keeper (Peter Herriman).  It was an unmitigated disaster.  No fault of Peter, he got his part correct. It was the outfield players. The players had watched Sheffield use a ‘flier' in all their games; unfortunately they had watched but tactically taken nothing on board.  6 goals adrift at half time Leigh Graves returned to gaol and proceeded to play the ‘flier' role rather well given that he had previously been uncomfortable when asked to play the role. Final score 2-11.

Dengo, qualified with 4 straight wins.  They were the best futsal ‘newcomer' team I have seen in last 10 years.  Made up of skilful players from a Liverpool Saturday/Sunday team; the players had the game looked tactically as though they had played it all their lives.

 BBS Couriers had a poor opening game vs. Sheffield, unable to cope with a team that used a 'flyier' goal keeper to great advantage. Score 1-4

Next game BBS Couriers vs. Grimsby Futsal.  Both teams needed to win.  BBS always had the lead until a free 10 metre shot for accumulated fouls, or should I say fouls on Josh Parry.  Leigh Graves (GK) netted with time out on the clock. 3-3

BBS 2 Dengo 3. closest any team got to beating Dengo.  BBS played some great stuff.

BBS finished on a flourish with a well deserved win 3-0 against tournament favourites Manchester.  Manchester had their England international on the pitch, BBS had 'Ludow' who orchestrated the game for his team. Credit to BBS who achieved only clean sheet of day.

QUESTION:

Is Grimsby doing its self an injustice by diluting into 2 teams?

Matthew Payne treble not enough!

Grimsby Futsal League 7 Leeds Barca 9

What a frustrating game, at times brilliant in attack, more often woeful in defence.  This performance was not on a par with the last 3 Grimsby games.  Was it that the team were playing without a win Leeds?  Certainly I had been privy to conversations as to where in the league 3 points would take us.

Perfect start, 30 seconds 1-0.  1 minute 1-1. Thus it continued to 5-5 and 16 minutes on the clock.  Work hard score a goal concede each reply a replica goal straight through the middle of the Grimsby ‘defence.'

On 16 minutes the game turned, Leeds scored 2 without reply.  Grimsby replied hitting the post, but the gap could not be narrowed.

Leeds, in the part games I had watched, had not been as bad as results conveyed; recent Grimsby form suggested that the game should have been loaded in their favour; it did not work out that way.

Grimsby started the second half positively, they got their game plan right and penned Leeds back in the early stages of the second period, creating chances, hitting the bar, but not getting the all important goal to stress Leeds.  In fact the all important goal was scored by Leeds (5-8).

At this point the Grimsby team could have crumbled, that they regrouped and had another go at rescuing a losing situation showed great character. Grimsby came close to levelling - 6-8, 7-8 with 40 seconds left on the clock.  Daniel Hornigold goal keeper (Leigh Graves had been sacrificed as keeper for an extra outfield player) pressing the last attack, the ball was intercepted and from their own half Leeds scored.  7-8 would have looked a closer score, bit a loss just the same, Grimsby had to take chances with so little time left, and the price was paid.  Had their first goal been scored early in the half I am convinced it would have given the impetus for at least a Grimsby point?

Individually the team fell short of their recent impressive form, several players were by their own admission were ‘below par;' it was no surprise then that the team was struggling to get into top gear.

Players have debriefed and as a result I am positive the team will be stronger from this set back.

Mathew Payne 3, John Frary 2, Kirk Russell 1, Daniel Durrosimo 1.

Peter Grant, Josh Parry, Luke McClellan, Leigh Graves, Daniel Hornigold, Lee Wilkinson
