Hot & sunny again here in Holland - what a week of good weather we've had.
The lads were slow out of the blocks against a small but technical Dutch side today & made hard work of the first half going in 1-0 down at half time.
The second half saw much improvement with enough effort to make up for the slow start. The lads were unlucky to conceed another to provide a real uphill struggle for the remaining 10 minutes.
There were two penalty appeals waved away by the home referee before the breakthrough came with two minutes remaining. Unfortunately there was not enough time for an equaliser & we went out 2-1.
HOLLAND STARS 2 - SCYL PUMAS 1
The other semi final was won by the Beelen Boys who beat Allerton FC 2-1.
The final was eventually won 12-0 by the Beelen Boys.
The whole squad picked themselves up, supported each other & were a credit to themselves. There was no blame or bad attitudes - WELL DONE LADS WE ARE ALL PROUD OF YOU.
The under 11s lost 2-1 in their final & the under 16s (Kidsgrove Athletic) drew their final against Poole Town 1-1, but unfortunately lost on penalties.
The slideshow has been updated & has some pics of the under 11s trophy presentation....
