A decision to make part of Freeman St Resource Centre’s tenth anniversary celebrations a celebration of junior Futsal turned out to be a winning idea for lads that use the centre’s pitches frequently. The tournament was designed to reunite old foes and to introduce new on the Futsal pitch which has helped to help spread the word of Futsal to Scunthorpe. Appleby Frodingham u13s and Bottesford u13s entered a team a piece to meet the challenge provided by two ‘Kent St ‘ teams and Discoveries u 12s and Breakaways u13s. The teams were put into two groups based on known ability and age. Then a round robin event went ahead that brought out some fantastic play from both the Scunthorpe teams and the two Grimsby league teams. The young players from Discoveries far from disgraced themselves despite their lack of strength and power. Many commentators even suggested that they played the more intricate football. The strength and determination of the much older Kent St Cheese FC told in a breath taking final against a fit and well organised Bottesford side who are now looking to work with me, Frod and a few other Scunthorpe based teams to make Futsal a part of their training regime. Every one of the ‘new ‘participants quickly saw the benefits of Futsal and I will be working with Bottesford and Frod to help them transfer their Futsal skills to the bigger pitch. Overall a great success and if you would like to take part in the next u14 competition please contact me on the details below:
