Colchester United Community Kids Cup

Our football team competed in the Colchester United community kids cup today at Shrub End in Colchester. The team played fantastically well to win all of their six games in the group stage and then passed safely through their quarter final and semi final match. In the final, we took the lead early but were pegged back and eventually ended up on the wrong end of a 2 v 1 defeat. I was very proud of the team today, they were superb throughout the tournament and were mighty unlucky not to end up the eventual winners. It was lovely to see the team play in the correct spirit and at times our passing and pressing was very impressive. We have many games and tournaments to play over the coming months and this tournament was a great way to kick off the new year. Mr Faithfull
