U13 5-a-side footballers victorious in Prep Schools 5-a-side Tournament

Date: Thursday 25 September 2008

The U13 5-a-side football team enjoyed an immensely successful afternoon at the Dover College Annual Prep Schools 5-a-Side Football Tournament yesterday, winning the tournament after a series of dramatic and hard-fought matches. They played five matches in their pool, winning three and drawing two; scoring five goals and conceding none. Having won their semi-final against Dulwich Prep School, they went on to beat the Junior King’s School, Canterbury in the final, but only after a tense penalty shoot-out ending in a 2-0 victory. During the afternoon the team scored nine goals and conceded none.

Congratulations to team members Steven Draper (capt), George Gibbons, Chris Neighbour, Tom Phillis, Matthew Roberts and Theron Tickridge. Special congratulations to Steven on being voted the most committed player of the tournament for his determination and teamwork, and for his seven goals.
