Grimsby Jets failing to get a team
out vs. Bench Warmers
Teams must be aware that once they join a league then they
have a responsibility to finish that league season, or face the costs.
League rules sanctioned by the LFA state that a team must
complete their fixtures or are liable for a £50 fine and remaining match
fees. All players that have signed or
put a foot on the pitch for that team are equally responsible.
Asking the LFA to ban those players if they do
not pay their fine is a draconian move taken as a last result.
FC Grimsby 9 Oldham 0

Great start to Football Association Futsal League North for
FC Grimsby.
Opponents Oldham was playing their first ever FA League game
having qualified through a very strong play off group.For Grimsby they were a complete unknown
quantity that had to be given maximum respect.The FCGY team’s last friendly was against Middlesborough, 2009 North winners;
a game that gave the Grimsby team notice preparation was behind schedule.
The was a good feeling when the squad meet up at the Gemtec
Arena (Hull), the attitude and focus for the game was apparent.
Coach Ammy Nije put through an impressive warm that
sharpened the players touch on the ball, pre kick off preparation had gone
well.
New face Aaron Smith (Young’s’ Seafood’s’) was given a place
in the starting 5, along with Mathew Payne (Captain), Daniel Hornigold, and Sam
Brooks (all Fulstow Rovers), Leigh Graves was keeper.
The game started at a strong pace; it was evident from the
first minute that Oldham was an organised team well prepared for the game.The first 10 minutes was nip and tuck,
Grimsby always bossing the game but unable to create clear cut chances against
a team that defended on the edge of their own penalty area ready to play on the
counter attack.A dangerous tactic that
cost them eventually, the Oldham keeper had saved several goal bound efforts,
one had to go in eventually, and it did. Mathew Payne finishing off neat passing move
to shoot FC GY 1-0 up on 10 minutes.
FCGY continue to dominate the ball, but at 1-0 could not
feel comfortable, Grimsby need a second goal.It duly arrived seconds before half time.Sam Brooks dribbled 2 men and from a tight
angle a volley; the Oldham keeper looked to have saved, fortunately the power
of the shot took the ball over the goal line.2-0, the half time team strategy had changed.
The second half started very similar to the first period,
Grimsby dominating possession whilst being denied clear cut chances.What was evident at this point was that the
team was mastering the art of possession, not getting frustrated when
possession was not being reflected in goals scored.The team, no matter how the squad was rotated
was patient, aware that possession is a version of defence when your team has a
2 goal advantage.
25 minutes gone and Oldham showed no signs of wilting; a
third Grimsby gaol (Mathew Payne) altered the Oldham tactics.Oldham called a 1 minute time out.The instructions could be anticipated, they
need to push on, take chances, and Oldham needed a goal.Aware, Grimsby defended deeper and tighter
and planned to hit them on the break, it worked nicely as Aaron Smith and Simon
Taylor (Grimsby Catalonia) broke in a 2v1 situation that gave Aaron a simple
back post tap in. 4-0.
This was the tipping point, Grimsby had control of all
facets of the match, reaping the benefits of their graft, Grimsby was now a
yard faster than their opponents, space was opening up at will.
The last 10 minutes Grimsby ran away with the game to 9-0; Shane
Garvey having an inspired 3 goal spell.
The crowning glory was a penalty after Mathew Payne shot was
handled by a defender on his goal line; Leigh Graves stepped up to score.A clean sheet and a goal scored is a futsal
rarity to be savoured - it will not happen often.
The Grimsby Institute ‘man of the match’
was Simon Taylor; Simon made more tackles and interceptions than any other FCGY
player enabling his teams attacking players to player with greatfreedomer .
The next game is Sunday 17th away vs. Tranmere
Victoria, they are a known quantity.2009 FA Futsal League runners up to London team Helvencia.Tranmere are experienced, there will not be a
European country they have not travelled to in search of futsal knowledge. Grimsby is going into the game
with a result that will have raised heads.
“Futsal
is an extremely important way for kids to develop their skills and
understanding of the game. My touch and my dribbling have come from
playing Futsal.”
Ronaldinho, AC Milan
“I
played Futsal for two or three years before I joined Santos … Futsal
was important in helping to develop my ball control, quick thinking ,
passing … also for dribbling, balance, concentration … Futsal was very,
very important, no doubt.”
Pelé, Soccer legend
“No time plus no space equals better skills. Futebol de Salao [Futsal] is our international laboratory of improvisation.”

FC Grimsby FA League North Fixtures 2010
Written by Kevin Bryant
Monday, 21 December 2009
The fixture list for FC Grimsby futsal team playing in the FA National Futsal League (North) is attached. The season runs from January until the end of June; the leading teams will automatically qualify for the FA Futsal Cup Finals beginning of July in Sheffield. The winners of FA leagues North, South and Midlands play off to be National Futsal Champions and represent England in the UEFA Cup. We have the players to achieve, do we have the players committed for those awkward away games in Liverpool on a Sunday night? I am hoping so, we want to see Grimsby players making a name for themselves nationally. Ben Mortlock is keeping his place in the England squad, we have a number of excellent players that should be aiming international, not Grimsby Institute Futsal League and a muddy Sunday morning game to follow!
See yourself playing futsal for FC Grimsby? Want to know more?
Returning after injury Adam Cooper (El Dogo's) 2 standout performances, first in the Monday Premier League and then in the highly competitive Tuesday League made this an easy choice. Monday saw Adam and his team mates drag themselves off the floor to score a late equaliser against BBS/Harvest to level 5-5. BBS/Harvest are a tough team to beat, every week they perform top quality futsal, for Adam to come back after injury and perform to the level he did was outstanding; to score the last seconds equaliser added to his achievement.
On the Tuesday El Dogo's played runaway leaders of league XV (StreetSoccer); El Dogo's had won league XIV. One of those matches when teams want desperately to win, because who wins has a bearing on the rest of the season. El Dogo's brought their Premier League form straight into this game and opened up a 3-1 half time lead. Disaster struck immediately after half time when the StreetSoccer keeper took a knock on his leg that removed him from the game.
A lesson for everyone next; with no players on the bench StreetSoccer had to play a man down. The game was a problem for them with 5 players, 4 was no match for El Dogo's 5 and substitutes. If a player gets injured you need an immediate replacement. For the newcomers a red carded player can be replaced after 2 minutes or immediately after your team has conceded a goal within those 2 minutes.If you start with 5 players you are risking playing short at some stage in the game.
Back to Adam Cooper, Adam finished with a 6 goal tally o0ver the 2 nights, most of which were absolute gems.

International Tournament Futsal Erdre 2010
Written by Sébastien BRISSET
Monday, 21 December 2009
Hello,
I would write to you whether you would be interested to come participate in the largest international futsal tournament in France.
The tournament takes a lot to me heart, called the International Tournament Futsal Erdre 2010, "Christophe Brisset Tife 2010", named after my brother died in 2006.
This tournament will be held on 5 and June 6, 2010 at The Chapel On Erdre and Nantes. This will be the 4th edition and it is like previous years to make a great feast of futsal.
But big news in 2010, "Tife" opened also to women!
A true international women's tournament "parallel" will make a new key and probably a new atmosphere in the stands.
You can see all information on this tournament on the attached file or on our website

(English version)
But I remain at your disposal for any information.
Sporting friendships.

Grimsby Institute Performance of Week (50)
Written by Kevin Bryant
Monday, 14 December 2009
Several contenders for team or performance of week; Bench Warmers for their annual win, Iberian Bulls for bringing Spanish futsal to Second Avenue, but it has to be a personal performance from Mathew Payne that was the highlight of the week.
Playing for Fulstow Rovers against a very strong BBS/Harvest team Matt tormented the opposition whenever he had possession. Fast feet and brain, physically fit, with a shot in both feet, Matt is proving to be the full futsal package. The last 2 weeks opponents comments feed back to me, 'he tore us apart.' Praise indeed.
