Another Day Of Amazing Futsal – U12 York Girls’ Futsal Cup

After last week’s fantastic U10s tournament, on Sunday 26 January Bootham Futsal Club hosted the first ever York Girls’ U12 Futsal Cup. The games were played at St Peters School, with Bishopthorpe White Rose, Bootham Girls Futsal Club, Wigginton Grasshopper and York Railway Institute all represented. The games were 20 minutes each, with a constant clock and teams played each other once, with the top two in the league playing again to be crowned champions.
Bootham were represented by:

Huge congratulation’s to Wigginton Grasshoppers U12s, who remained unbeaten all day, and were worthy winners.

A final word from Chairman Chris, ‘Well we thought last week was good, but today we saw some sensational play from so many players. The ability of the players to pass the ball and use the court was well beyond their years, so impressive to watch. Congratulations to Wigginton who had some very good technical players and looked comfortable playing futsal. The standard across all the teams today was very high and the score lines don’t show how close some of the games were. We have now had over 60 girls playing futsal, many for the first time over the last 2 weeks, and we hope we see lots of them again playing very soon. Thank you for all your amazing support. We still have the U14s and U16s to come, honestly, I just can’t wait!’
