Had to be seen to be appreciated, Ryan Smith scores goals for fun, no one would back him missing a 6 meter penalty. The ball flashes into the top corner, a hand pushes the ball against the bar, the ball drops to Ryan 2 yards out, he blasts the ball into the net, or so we thought, Graves gets a second hand to the ball and contrives to push it over the bar for a corner.
The best save ever at Second Avenue?
All Blacks went on to beat Harvest II 5-2. Harvest will have been pleased with the score as this is a new team that has to acclimatise to futsal tactics.
Catalonia are growing in stature, 6-1 against College 2001 is no mean performance. Scott Harris is like having 2 players for the 'cats.'
Shamrock were forced into a defence game against a Fulstow team with a couple of fresh faces; strangely this played into Shamrock's hands as they collected goals on the break; normally Shamrock are the offensive team.
Scored flattered them a little as Fulstow paid the price for chasing the game.
Late goals won the game for Gunners Watch; a tight game until the last 5 minutes. As the game went on the Gunners tactically improved whilst Young's failed to raise their game.

Shamrock 4 Youngs 2
Goalkeeper Lee Bushell scores a long range screamer as Shamrock's more intelligent futsal outwitted a younger team whose finishing and luck wasn't in on the night missing a plethora of chances.
College 3 Gunners 2
College keeper Cookie outstanding. Gunners lacked discipline with 4 players booked for dissent, Bobbie Lewsam was an angel and scored a brilliant left footed individual goal. Courty for College was like 'Bambi on Ice'.
Harvest 3 Fulstow 6
Harvest had some talent on show with Durosomo in particular outstanding as usual but Fulstow defended cleverly and hit on the break with Sam Hallet again showing what an accomplished futsal player he is. Boggsy missed a sitter for Fulstow but made up for it with a superb headed goal.
All Blacks 2 Catalonia 1
Catalonia took a deserved lead and batled hard all game to keep it with Deano in goal on top of his game. A sixth foul in the last few seconds gave 'Supermouth' keeper Lee Graves the opportunity to score the winner from the second penalty mark and he obliged. Yammy for All Blacks has the quickest feet I've ever seen and drew most of the fouls out of Catalonia with his ability.
All in all, a great night's quality futsal, but players have got to accept that the referee decides what is a futsal foul and realise that you get them more easily than 11 a side but not as easy as some players want who try to referee as well as play, consequently gobbing off aggressively at referees who might start turning these yellow cards into straight reds.
THE BEST FUTSAL TEAMS ARE THE MOST DISCIPLINED!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 terrific games, with the best saved till last

How good are Young's Seafoods'? |

Wednesday, 09 January 2008 |
Monday in the Premier League they ran riot around against College 2001. In the first half they simply walked through the College defence, this a defence that has played some of the best teams in the country.
Jason Chisnall had got 6 by half time, all a result of constructive team work, Craig Norman, 'Dico,' Adam (smile please) Hayworth, were superb.
College had a serious half time team talk that resulted in them taking the second half, but it was all to late, Young's had the game put to bed before the break.
Was this game a case of Youngs' being seriously good or College seriously bad? |

El Dogo's and Superstar Tradesman played out an epic encounter last night, to showcase futsal talent on the kent st league last night. An explosive start to the game saw Superstar take the initiative in the game taking an early lead but El dogo's were quick to fight back and then establish themselves in the game to take the lead into the break. Superstar started the second half the brightest after an inspired half time team talk by new signing england futsal trialist daniel hornigold, and immediately put the dogo's on the back foot. With 5 minutes remaining superstar had pulled the game back level to 5-5. El Dogo's dug deep and showed why they are top of the league with 3 late goals to finish the game of and leave the score at 8-5. Great advert for the game and a pleasure to play in. El Dogo's win

PRESS RELEASE
Date: 30/12/2007 Release Ref: MFutsalClub024 Client Site: http://www.borofutsal.co.uk
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Downing for President
Middlesbrough Futsal Club can today announce the signing of Boro and England winger Stewart Downing, as President. The role will see Downing join the Club in an honorary position, just in time for 2008, which will see Middlesbrough play in the Northern Conference of the national league.
Boro Futsal Chairman, Damon Shaw, approached Downing in November and following a meeting at Rockliffe Park, Middlesbrough FC’s training HQ, Downing agreed to take on the role.
It is hoped that Middlesbrough’s joint top scorer will increase the profile of the growing sport in the area and attract more people to get involved.
Stewart Downing said: “I am absolutely delighted to be president of Middlesbrough Futsal Club.”
“When asked I had no hesitation.”
“I played Futebol de Salão [Futsal], when I was a young lad and always enjoyed it, so I know the kids in the community will benefit.”
Downing’s presidency was marked with a goal in Boro’s 2-1 win over Premier League leaders Arsenal, taking his tally to 4 for this season.
Damon said: “It had been part of my plan since I founded the club to get a local hero involved with the club. Stewart was top of my list of potential candidates. Being a local lad and an England international he is a perfect ambassador for the club.”
“He was really enthusiastic and had plenty of time for us. He was down to earth and was especially interested in the charity and kids’ events.”
The announcement comes at a time when futsal’s influence on the English game of football has been a topic of discussion in the media. England’s failure to qualify for EURO 2008 has caused people to look at the grassroots, and futsal, has been given much support by the media, as the way to improve our homegrown talent. In Brazil they play futsal in their youth and this shows right through to the national team with gifted players throughout.
The national league starts in February next year and Boro are hopeful of being a founder member of the Northern Conference [Midlands and South are the other two conferences making up the national league]. To follow Boro Futsal in 2008 and to make sure you don’t miss out on updates go to www.BoroFutsal.co.uk and register.

Wanted match Reporters for Leagues |
|
Written by Kevin Bryant

Sunday, 16 December 2007 |
It’s all happening out there but due to the demands of the continuing expansion of FUTSAL I cannot maintain a weekly reports section; it would be a great boost if someone would take on the responsibility, if not for all matches, but an individual league. All you need to do is log into the site as a member; select ‘write article’ and you are your own match reporter.
Each league has their own breaking news, the Premier League has seen Magpies, Grimsby futsal’s most dominate team retire from playing as Nicol Magpies, winning their final game against second placed All Blacks 4-1. Family commitments and work commitments has been the team problem for some time. They go out with a list of remarkable achievements including longest run without a defeat (46) most games without conceding a goal (5). There will be a Premier league dog fight to take their vacated title. Congratulations and thanks to the team for the putting Grimsby on the futsal map with some heady performances at the FA National Futsal Finals.
Game of the week in the Premiership was College 2001vs, Shamrock. Want to watch futsal drama follow Lee Bushels’ team. They just can’t finish a game off, draw specialist if they were on the pools. 2 goals up with 2 minutes left they couldn’t see the game out. College used the tactic of bringing their keeper over the half way line to create an extra attacker and twice the scored to retrieve a lost cause.
Elsewhere the Premiership has seen Danny Hornigold, Lee Graves and Dale Spalding all have England futsal trials, no mean achievement. Lee Graves has been recalled several times to training sessions; and just needs that luck break to be our second England cap; Paul Gooodhand being the other.
Division II Tuesday could be any ones league. Everyone but Littlefields has lost a game after only a few matches that said they have only played 2 games. Bottom team and youngest team are losing, but by small margins only. Last leagues winners Young’s Seafood’s are mid table? StreetSoccer has just turned over turned table toppers Grimsby Auditorium 5-4 to confuse matters further.
Division II Wednesday is too early in its season to draw conclusions; that said Wolf Wanderers has opened with 4 straight wins, Soccer PM has just beaten my title favourites 4-3 to leave them bottom! Wednesday needs a team to beat the Wolves and the league will be wide open. New team Scartholnia has futsal experience, could they be the team?
Kent St III had its own shock result with Eagles playing their best game to date with to beat El Dogo’s 10-5. Great game, with teams having to think and rethink tactics as the game demanded. The game was closer than the score suggests, El Dogo’s was being hit on the counter as they chased the game.
Thursday at Kent St was abandoned as the freezing cold froze the dampness on the pitch to create dangerous conditions. Littlefield are an example of futsal expansion with 2 teams in this league and 3 teams overall. ECGS are slowly making progress; they are 4 games without defeat. The title is a 2 horse race between Football Wizards and Littfields2, both experienced teams in what is a predominantly ‘newcomers’ league.
The league has expanded to almost 50 teams; Young’s Seafood’s is travelling to a tournament in Amsterdam, I have a tournament to a manage in Calais (France) plus the 3rd Hull Futsal; FC Grimsby and Hull Gemtec (FPL League) have combined forces to enter a team in the FA National Futsal league which starts early 2008. There is so much going from the small acorns we sowed 10 years ago.
So please, if you can report and updates readers on your league the leagues would value your help.

No names need to be mentioned - 3 players have been reported to the Lincolnshire FA over the past 14 days for comments made to referees in the Grimsby Futsal League. I would anticipate the minimum fine for a first time offender, if upheld, will be £35 and a 35 day suspension. players with previouse behavioural problems can anticipate double and more. Is it worth it?
Referees do make mistakes, but less than the average player makes in a game.
Futsal does not need big heads looking for an argument, if you cannot play to rules move onto another sport please.

Hull training session Sunday 9th Dec |

Written by Kevin Bryant

Monday, 10 December 2007 |
Just have to mention the FC Grimsby training performance at Hull. Due to a transport let down I only managed to take 4 players to play against Hull Gemtec and some serious new futsal players.
We started by borrowing a keeper and from then on it was down to Danny Hornigold, Scott Harriss, Kirk Russell and Craig Norman. They exceeded all expectations. Their team work passing and defending was equal or better than anything I have yet seen from a Grimsby team, the fact that they upheld the standard for an hour and a half (with odd changer over breaks) speaks volumns for their personal fitness.
Yes one opposition team was newcomers but the other was a team of experienced ex professional footballers, very profficient at futsal.
What started out as a midigation in disaster turned out to be a real bonus evening.

Nicol Magpies regain title!!! |

Magpies have stormed back after the disapontment of losing out League X to Gunners Watch. In an odd twist Gunners have imploded this season fighting to avoid the wooden spoon position with Grimsby Catalonia. The standard of the Premier league is such that the bottom two teams have great ability and can beat any other team on their day.
The standard was illustrated this Monday with 3 top draw games to referee. Shamrock scored 2 goals match of the day pundits would have drolled over but it still wasn't enough to see of Magpies who had key players, Hornigold, Spalding, Geroshimo, Dico, pulling strings all over the pitch.
Shamrock paid the price of having 5 players against Magpies 7. When they needed a break there was no one to come on, get one player injured or sent off, which is not difficult at futsal, and the game is over.
No team should have less than 7 players!
Fulstow 4 College 4. Two teams tactically aware, switch off for 1 minute and they will score. End to end, anyones game to the last kick.
Grimsby All Blacks are the form team, their game has stepped up a level since Lee Graves joined the England training camp. All Blacks started out as a team of outsatnding attackers, now they play and value defence first as the springborad to attack. Opium has had an outstanding first season, they are head and shoulders above teams of a similar age bracket. The score again tells you everything (4-2), a tight game that All Blacks lead from the start; but that Opium stretched them to the end. A goal when All Blacks were reduced to 4 men for 2 minutes wouild greatly have helped their cause.
Brilliantly refereed by Brain Noble, the advantage rule used time and time again with the foul being recorded when ball out of play.

The place to discuss how to coach and play the great game of futsal.
In case you were wondering what Futsal is, it is the format of Small Sided Football that is recognised and supported by FIFA and UEFA with World and European Championships for club and National Teams
The name 'Futsal' simply combines the Spanish words for ‘Hall’ – Sala and ‘Football’ – Futbol into Futsal. It is a five-a-side game, played with hockey sized goals and a smaller ball with a reduced bounce.
As a small-sided game players are constantly placed in situations where they must receive or play whilst under pressure or in confined spaces and it places considerable demand on technique, movement, tactical awareness and fitness.
As such, it is a great game for improving children's ball skills, vision, speed and confidence.

Each year, the La Bassée Futsal Club organize an under 16s international futsal
tournament in France near Lille and Lens. On January 2008, 5/6th, this tournament will play with different great futsal clubs of France (Roubaix Futsal, Issy les moulineaux Futsal, ...), Belgium (Action21 Charleroi, FT Antwerp, Onu Seraing, Morlanwelz...), Holland (TPP Rotterdam, Orient Plaza...), UK (London Baltic Futsal).
The organizers would like to include an under 16 team from the UK. Anyone interested in entering a team should contact

Teams should enquire regarding the under 16 age grouping, this often causes problems when traveling as most foreign leagues work on a 1st January date.

5 nights, 10 teams in each league, we are at the limit.
The league is the envious position of being able to replace teams that cancel a fixture without consideration for the organisers or the opposition.
Like wise teams that think £15 is another version of £18 should not be buying new trainers.
Thanks for helping making England's first ever futsal league the largest in the UK. If you think quality has been jeopardised by numbers check out the Monday Premier League, test yourself in it; you will find that we have quality and numbers; a credit to all the teams.
