District Football Competition 2003

The popular District 6-a-side football competition took place on Sunday 29 June 2003 at Binfield Football Club. We entered 2 teams which were kindly looked after by Phil Kent.

He has provided his report of the day.


Stags Team:  Fraser Wood, Matthew Dye, Daniel Gathergood, William Hawkes, Daniel Hiscock, Daniel Jordan, James Kent

League Results:-

3-0
1-2
5-0
5-0

Semi final v Binfield A 1-2

The Stags were a strong team, whose only defeats were narrow ones at the hands of the eventual finalists. Fraser Wood made some outstanding saves to keep three clean sheets and William Hawkes and Daniel Gathergood kept the door locked tight with some solid defensive displays. The midfield and strikers combined well – James Kent and Matthew Dye were industrious in the
engine room, which provided a solid platform for some spectacular goal scoring by Daniel Hiscock and in particular by Daniel Jordan.

Wolves Team: Christopher Donnelly, Jake Ellis, Dean Harry, Sam Heathcote, James Morgan, Jack Rusby, Oliver Viney

League Results:-

0-2
0-0
0-3
2-2

The Wolves faced some strong opposition in their league. The best endeavours of Oliver Viney and Dean Harry to find a breakthough were thwarted by the the opposing defences, although Sam Heathcote and Jake Ellis tried hard to drive the team forward from midfield. Jack Rusby was commanding in the tackle and ably supported by Christopher Donnelly and James Morgan at the
back. In the end their efforts were rewarded with a brace of goals in a fighting draw in the final game.

Thank you to all the Cubs and parents who supported this event.
