4 weeks ago I started coaching futsal to 13-15 year olds at Kent Street Resource Centre. Of the initial 6 players 2 had older brothers playing futsal that had inspired them to want part of the action.
Before the end of the session another group of local lads had asked to join in. I ended with double the number I sated with!
Week 2 came and more players arrived who had already decided they wanted to be teams. The stragglers became team 3 for the night.
Week 3. I arrived and thought I had problems. Kids were every where; how do I get this lot of the pitch? What I hadn’t realized was they were all down to play futsal. Mighty Mariners, Joga Benito, Kent St, Gy Rebels, Real McKid's (what a name?). Everyone played everyone else, not a bad tackle in site. Talent and skill in abundance, street football at its best (futsal is street football with rules). Everyone had taken to futsal like ‘ducks to water’, decisions are accepted in the spirit they are made.
Week 4. Mighty Mariners spawn a ‘B’ team, and teams travel from West Marsh estate and Hereford school to play.
Not a player or team lost in 4 weeks. From 6 players to 8 teams!!
An abundance of football talent.
Not an adult in sight (they don’t see me as an adult because they know I want to keep adults out of their space).
Players from the senior Kent Street Futsal Team referee matches, we have no losers, and everyone starts with a clean sheet next week.
There is work do; do the teams create a league, what do they want out of futsal, what are they going to do to create that dream?
Watch this space?

Grimsby Futsal League Disgrace |

A 3-3 draw with Gunners Watch took Nicol Magpies to a remarkable 38 without loss. All their matches were played in the Monday Premier League unlike College 2001 who had the majority of their 37 game run in division II.
The result of the game was less important than the manner in which the game was played.
When I arrived at Second Avenue I could hear, before I had seen a player, foul mouthed comments aimed at the referee coming from the pitch. These comments were backed by supporters that would not normally be at the Resource Centre. The atmosphere was intimidating.
Referee Brian Noble was outstanding in dealing with all the decisions he was asked to make. Three Gunners Watch players and one Magpies players was sent off. Three of which were for double yellow cards.
D. Hornigold (Magpies), a futsal league referee, was dismissed for a second yellow card. If the LFA suspend DH he will be doubly punished as a playing ban is also a refereeing ban.
I was told by a Gunners player in front of his friends that I ran a ‘shit league.’ Very plesant given the time I put in costs me money.
Being insulted by players or spectators will not keep referees in the game.
The Grimsby Futsal League is not the place for you and your team if you have no respect for rules or the opposition.

CFKA excel, beating their best expectations at first tournament. They qualified from their group to loose out to Team Birmingham in the quarter finals 3-2. Teams Birmingham has a large squad to select from and have made the semi finals of the 2006 FA National Finals, as well as finishing third in the national Futsal Premier League.

Kent St can feel aggrieved that they were the only quarter finalists that had to play immediately after finishing a group match. This told on them as they had no physical reserves to call as they lost out to eventual finalist York University.
Ryan Smith deservedly took the top goal scorer award (12 goals) after some dynamic finishing.

Grimsby Catalonia would be the first to admit they under performed in a tough group, failing to make the final stages. A surprise as they would have been most peoples bet to do best from the Grimsby entrants.
Teesside University took won the tournament, Grimsby player Ben Mortlock their star player.

Grimsby Futsal League
Thursday, February 01, 2007Second Avenue
Monday Premier League
Gunners Watch, with Cain Winfarriah and Danny Rowe starring, beat Eagles to make it 5 wins on the bounce and open up a 4 point lead over Magpies. 11-5
Mark Huntley led Magpies to comfortable win over old foes Fulstow Rovers. Magpies with 8 conceded in 5 games have best defense in league. 7-2
All Blacks condemn Young’s seafood’s to bottom place. Sam Tatari and Luay Gharib stand out. Has to be a good league with Young’s bottom. 5-2
Second Avenue
Tuesday Division II
Second Avenue
Piemonte struggled to make a team, Harvest are tough with your best squad, hence miss match. Credit to Piemonte that they rallied at half time when lesser teams would have folded. 12-3
StreetSoccer pulled back from 1-3 to level 3-3, unfortunately Magpies rallied again to 5-4 thus ending StreetSoccer’s 5 without loss run.
Grimsby Baptist just cant get back on track (6L in 8 matches), Thorpe doing the damage this week in a game that had some great play. 10-4
Jamie Stratton takes plaudits as ACD prove too good for hard working Rose & Crown.
CFKA will soon be changing name to ‘game of the night.’ 7-7 all with Auditorium they take advantage of late mistakes to win 9-7.
Wednesday Division III
Littlefields always had too much for Expressions. 7-2
KBFC loose points, sorry lads. ACD stand in and give FC Coventry a serious work out for their match fee. 8-3
Hemswell vs. Heta had close game written all over it, and so it turned out to be. Hemswell nicking it 5-3
Kirk Russell (Second Avenue) scores the sort of goal that deserves to win a match; unfortunately Daz Clark team had not read the script. 7-4
Kent Street League
Big 3 record cricket scores, at some point the league will have to move to two division league.
Nelson scored 13-0 against Astle's, Kent St (struggling for a team mid afternoon) left Warriors scarred 26-1, Football Wizards did their bit recording 13 without reply vs. Everglaze.
O’s are erratic, but get everyone there they can do the business as Humbertherm disappointed to find out. 8-6
5 teams at the bottom have 6 points. Grimsby Futsal gets 3 of theirs with a 6-4 win over AFC Snoop who already had their 6.
Friendly Matches
