Grays Athletic U8 Lions (sponsored by Frankie and Benny's Lakeside)
Grays Athletic Under 8 Lions played their second tournament in a row, despite having both their defenders away on holiday. Grays played great football as they always do.
They won their group winning all four games, scoring nine goals and conceding none. They went into the semi final with their heads held high, playing Woodford and winning 2 - 0.
The final was against Buckhurst Hill, after ten minutes of play it was still 0 - 0 as both teams were really strong. went into extra time 2 minutes each way - Golden Goal.. unfortunately a minute and half into the extra time, Buckhurst Hill broke through and got the golden goal. We walked away runners the second week running, another medal for the collection..
The next tournament, Hutton FC, hopefuly we will have a full team, and go all the way.
Well done boys, keep up the hard work, the win will come.
