The Pencoys football team had their first tournament this
week and had a brilliant outcome. Even though they hadn't had any training
together, they received a 3rd place result and a Player of the Tournament, medal.
The first game played was an extremely close loss to Treloweth,
but after a team talk and a quick break, the Purples managed to grasp the
victory and raise the spirits of every player on the team. But! This would have
never been possible if it wasn’t for Ethan in Year 5, who scored a first touch
goal straight into the back of the net! The next game was another close lose
which was only conceded by a small blunder in midfield but they kept confident
and got a draw that led them on to play and get the same result twice more!
But now, they were through to the semifinals, playing
against one of the strongest teams of the tournament... after Samuel in Year 6
made a great save, a foul was conceded and the opposition had a free kick.
Samuel was just about to reach it but it was just too fast and it went straight
into the back of the net which brought Pencoys to the loss...
Now comes the most stressful part, the fight for the third
place... After a hard game it was brought back to penalties... with the Euro
2020 final in the back of their heads, they entered the shootout with their
heads hung low. But if it wasn’t for Dylan (Year 6) and his super calm saves,
along with Callum’s (Year 6) awesome goal- they would have never made it to
third place!
At the end they all sat around the main coach and Treloweth
and Penoweth received their trophies.
Next came the Player of the Tournament trophy, that was actually given
to our team captain, Hugo Craig in year 6!
So, after working their socks off in the Crofty Tournament
2022, the Purples headed off with high heads and plans for the future.
Pencoys Football team, will return...
