National Yazoo Festival
The under nine’s took part in the Yazoo National Youth Festival on Saturday 15th May. We took part as Canada and even though we didn’t win any of our games, all the players had a fantastic time.
We had a very young team playing against clubs with much older players. We scored in our first game, Holly Adams made a run through the centre and Amber Thorpe hit the ball past the goalkeeper.
We lost our other games narrowly and managed a hard fought draw in another one.
All our players will be able to play again in future Youth Festival’s so in a couple of years we will be winning all our matches.
Can’t wait until next year’s festival!
