Eurique Wilkin, Technical Director of Footy Force Futsal said, “It was a great and positive atmosphere and was good to see a solid turnout from friends and family of the players. The individual skill and one-two plays were a joy to watch. The 5 minute games created a recipe for fast attacking play which kept all watching on the edge of their seats.
“The goal keepers played a big part in the excitement of the tournament as they pulled off saves you didn’t think was possible time and time again. We would like to thank all the teams that participated and Congratulations to the U11, U13 and U16 Champions. Also, a special thanks to CADA: Encouraging Responsible Alcohol Behavior, L&J rentals and Junior Minister of Community Culture & Sports Nandi Outerbridge JP, MP.”
