First Game Against Peterborough B:

The lads started really well against this largely inexperienced peterboro side helping themselves to eight goals in the first half. Colin got 3, Nick got 3, Adam & Robert got 1 each. Michael hardly had a touch of the ball as our defence rarely got tested untill they somehow managed to get through & flick one in over his pads to end the first half 8-1. In the second half big Sam went in goal to replace the previous keeper so we new it was going to be harder to score this time, but Colin & Adam both scored cracking goals from good solid passes from the side. Robert managed to fumble one in over sams pad after he saved it first time then a minute later whacked another in to end the game Letchworth 12-Peterboro 1

Second Game Against Peterborough A:

We all hoped that Peterborough ‘A’ were going to behave themselves this time and play fairly unlike last time when they didnt do themselves any favours by ‘playing to Peterborough rules’ ! as another club parent onlooker told me ! This time they did mostly behave themselves with only the odd incident that the ref Tony Noble tried to stamp out as soon as possible.Both teams were fairly evenly matched with Letchworth making some good attacks on goal from cleverly worked manouvers but big sam in goal managed to keep them out. Michael had to make lots of saves from peterboro attacks untill they slipped one in under his legs & then scored two more in quick succession to end the first half 3-0 up to peterboro. The second half the lads were determined to get something from the game and went up a gear to make the tempo even quicker (as if it wasnt quick enough allready!) they worked themselves very hard & were rewarded with 2 great goals from Nick & Adam.The final result was Letchworth 2- Peterborough 3.

Third Game Against Ely Blue:

The team attacked & defended really well in this game helping Nick make plenty of attacks on goal resulting in 3 good goals, as did Robert with 2 in the first half. In the second half Elys No 6 was given a yellow card after a harsh tackle on Frankie. Jake, Nick & Robert got one each to end the game Letchworth 8-Ely Blue 0.

Next tournament is at Soham on 7th January.
