Coldwell Cup with the U14s, Game 1

Down to Welwyn in Herts for our second appearance at the Coldwell Cup. A gorgeous sunny day for the 6 a side tournament, but unfortunately it wasn't our best performance/s, winning none of our 5 games! Maybe next year...
Game 1 was against Portsmouth Pythons with a tiny, but brilliant goalkeeper to get past! 
Final score - Stockport 5 : Portsmouth 5

that's one in!

Careful where you put your head Callulm!

GOAL!

Get out of our crease!

Tackling the big guy!

Scrappy goal kicked in by Danny
