Keelby Tournament – 3rd May ⚽️

What a brilliant day for our squad – Zak, Harlow, Noah, Leo, Daniel, Henry, Kian, Toby, Mousa and George 👏

Starting under cloudy skies and finishing in wet, slippery conditions, the boys showed fantastic determination, teamwork and resilience throughout 💪

Game 1 – Win 2-1 vs Grimsby United Eagles
The perfect start!
We looked sharp from the off, with Mousa winning an early corner that Leo whipped in, forcing an own goal for 1-0.

At the back, Harlow made two top saves to keep us level, with Noah and Henry looking solid and composed. In midfield, George worked tirelessly, linking play and battling for everything, while Zak gave us a great outlet with his movement up top.

Going forward, Leo, Mousa and Daniel combined brilliantly, and Daniel took his goal really well to make it 2-1. Toby added energy when called on, helping us keep the pressure high. We were unlucky not to add more – Leo hit the bar and Mousa struck the post!

A confident, energetic team performance to open the day 🔥

Game 2 – Loss 0-1 vs GCW
A tougher test where we had to dig in.
George was excellent in midfield, breaking up play again and again, while Noah stayed strong defensively and Harlow pulled off a great save high to his right.

Leo showed real bravery after taking a knock and came back on, with Toby stepping in well and helping us settle. Zak and Henry worked hard to give us a way forward when we could break.

Despite all the effort, an unlucky goal was the difference, but the team never stopped battling right until the final whistle 💥

Game 3 – Draw 0-0 vs Laceby
This was a proper battle against a strong side.
The whole team dug deep – Harlow made important saves, while Noah and Henry stood firm at the back.

George kept things ticking in midfield, winning the ball and keeping us organised. Kian and Daniel put in key tackles, while Mousa and Zak worked hard to give us an outlet, with Toby supporting well in midfield when introduced.

A tough, resilient performance and a well-earned clean sheet 🧱

Game 4 – Draw 1-1 vs Market Rasen Mustangs
A really lively game with some great football played.
Leo looked dangerous going forward, and Noah’s long passes helped drive us up the pitch.

From a well-worked corner by Daniel, Kian scored his first goal for the team – a brilliant moment and fully deserved 🎉

George continued to work hard in midfield, linking everything together, while Mousa drove forward with purpose. Zak stretched the play well up front, and Toby kept us moving when he came on with good energy and positioning.

Unlucky not to take the win, but a great performance 👏

Game 5 – Draw 0-0 vs Broughton Rovers
Another disciplined and determined display.
Harlow was vocal and organised throughout, while Noah was outstanding defensively and even drove forward when he could.

George battled hard in midfield again, helping us stay competitive, while Daniel put in important blocks and Noah kept things tight.

Mousa was unlucky hitting the post, Kian showed great footwork, and Zak worked tirelessly up top to press and create space, with Henry supporting well. Toby made a real impact when he came on, helping us win corners and keep pressure on.

Another clean sheet and a real team effort ⚽️

👉 After five strong games, the boys earned a 6th match – a fantastic achievement and well deserved!

Game 6 – Loss 0-3 vs GCW Rangers
Up against a strong and physical side, the boys never stopped competing.
Mousa used his pace well, George kept battling in midfield, and Noah and Daniel continued putting in tackles and blocks.

Harlow made some good saves, Henry showed great skill driving forward, and Zak kept working hard to lead the line. Kian and Toby came on and added fresh energy, both getting involved and keeping us pushing.

A tough result, but huge credit to the team for their effort and attitude 👊

Overall:
🏆 1 Win | 🤝 3 Draws | ❌ 2 Losses
⚽️ Goals: Daniel, Kian + forced own goal

Every single player played their part today – whether it was goals, tackles, passes, runs or pure hard work for the team. You should all be really proud of yourselves ❤️

A big thank you to all the parents, coaches and supporters for your constant encouragement – it makes a huge difference 👏

Enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday – a fantastic team effort from start to finish! 🌟
