Huge thank you to all the parents and coaches for bringing their girls to play futsal. Jasmine from NRCFA came and supported the event, and was impressed by the atmosphere and enthusiasm of all the teams.

Player Of The Tournament For Bootham U10s was Toni – she started slowly but by the end she was showing what a really good player she is. She worked her socks off, getting forward and back in all the games and was unlucky to not score. Well played Toni, awesome performance!
