A write of last nights U13 Girls Futsal Tournament. Big thanks to the coach Dave for organising and running this great evening!

Uckfield Futsal Trophy
A fantastic evenings futsal, with 8 teams from 4 clubs battling it out for the Uckfield Futsal Trophy.
There were 12 group games, with goal difference separating many teams, including Uckfield Yellow, who missed out on the first place final by 2 goals from Hollingbury Red, after both teams won one and drew two of their group games.
Uckfield Red progressed to the 1st v 2nd final, two points clear of Newhaven Dockers.
Hollingbury White won the 4th v 4th final 1-0 over Heathfield White in a tight game. Newhaven yellow beat Heathfield black 2-1 in another close match for 6th and 5th.
Uckfield Yellow won the 3rd v 4th final with a golden goal in controversial circumstances, with Alyssa converting a penalty awarded for an illegal drop goal!
The 1st v 2nd final pitted old rivals for the second successive tournament with Hollingbury Red against Uckfield Red. This was another end to end game, worthy of any final, with Hollingbury prevailing 3-2, with Uckfield going 1-0 up, falling 2-1 behind, levelling the game at 2-2 only to concede late and lose 3-2. There were chances at both ends and some fantastic skills and passing play from both teams.
Eve from Heathfield and Horam won player of the tournament for her determined displays (with the Heathfield No6 also garnering votes) , which shows the strength of all the teams!
I couldn’t have run this without Sebastian refereeing all 16 matches or the help of my son Ralph for keeping time and letting teams know who was on next.
This was a hugely exciting and successful tournament and I’m grateful to the coaches, parents and players from Hollingbury, Heathfield and Horam and Newhaven for participating. I hope to run more futsal tournaments in the coming months but I’ll save thinking about that for a few days at least!
